Ten Years From Now....

Ten years.....when I was younger ten years sounded like an eternity, but now ten years sounds a little closer and a lot less extreme. However, Im still not exactly sure how to answer the question. The fact that its so close, yet still equally far makes it difficult. I've always been a planning person. Yet I find myself planning just enough for the next week, or the next year, but the next few years escape me. I like to go with the flow and see where I end up. lol To a certain extent, but I still have general goals that Im trying to get to.
So...Once I graduate from grad school, thats 4 years down. (lol)...I would like to work in a consulting firm, being contracted out to different companies as and I/O pysch consultant. Then once I am good on my feet with-in mmy company, I would like to branch off into having my own consulting firm. I feel that this is a very important step in my life and career because success always comes through ownership. Whether you own your business, idea, or home owership is a legacy you can pass down through generations to ensure their success as well.
By then I also would like to have done even more traveling by then. I would like to live some places like Spain, Italy, or even Bahamas or Greece, just to have some experience living and enjoying life somewhere else.
Hopefully, in that time I will have found a wonderful balence between my family and work life. Although I would really like to be successful in my job I want a wonderful family and I would love to enjoy life as a mother, wife, aunt, grandmother, all of the above one day! Its important for me to watch my family grow mentally, physically, spirtually and emotionally. But what's most important to me is that we do it together. I love the family I already have and I just waiting for the chance to start my own. So hopefully in ten years I can definately have all that and more!!! :)

Web 2.0.....response...

Ok....when seeing the video my first thought was wow, this is a little creepy. I mean really, they are right!! Our whole way of life is changing, has changed! Technology has come so far and is so easy and flexible. For a person entering to the workforce, I think it will effect the way they look, the jobs that are opened up to them, as well as the way they correspond with prospective employees. No longer is the searching process as narrow as a newspaper its so far beyond that. However it calls for them to be very well versed in the web. This raises the bar for the qualification box in your resume. It also makes it hard for older people who have found themselves thrown into the umemployment poole in search for jobs that might call for even simple technological knowledge that they dont possess.
As far as people within the workforce I think it does virtually the same thing. It might increase the amount of classes or workshops offered to refine techonology skills, as well as open up a new area for things such as advertisment and growth of the company.
We have to rethink everything because with our web boom, everything is changing. Whether it be good or bad they're all things to be considered. How do we teach our kids personability when they rely on text and web to make friends. How do we connect on a personal level, and encourage that?! How will this effect the new generation? The old generation? Won't it have an effect on our culture as well as the culture of the world? New world policies, procedures, communication?
Web can be a blessing or a curse, no matter the interpretation, the fact is that its here. Its up to us to embrace, push away or ignore.
