I'm a level designer for a gaming company, would likely not protest doing this work still in 10 years. I like my job, and co-workers area really swell. :)

On the one hand I am well off right now, dream job, enough in the bank that I could easily coast for a decade without worries, girls are still young enough to where I actually like them (though middle school is encroaching for my oldest and things tend to go to shit around that time for kids, especially girls); the only real difficulty is there is no lady in my life and while that doesn't bother me it seems to be taking some toll on my girls.

But complacency is death, if I just lie back and rest on my laurels for a decade I know I'd end up hating myself.

I wouldn't really be happy if I was a student for 10 years. I still have another 9 years to go though so Yay me

No. Unless the money was worth it. It never will be though.

Great thread idea and good questions. 

so to answer the questions in this thread:

1) Yes I am currently living in a city center apartment with my girlfriend in a fortune 500 company. So right now I am happy. 

2) No of course I wouldn't. I would definitely like to be in the same company because they treat their staff so well and the perks are great but I wouldn't want to be a junior engineer for the next 10 years. In 5 years I want to be a manager and then work my way up from there. 

3) I am constantly creating life/career goals to better myself as a person. It requires hard work and dedication but the goals are normally worth it in the end

My very first thought when entering this thread.

Am I happy with my current life/situation? Yes, absolutely.

Do I want everything to be the same in 10 years? No. I'd very much like to live on my own by then and have a fixated job.

Nah, I want to finish my study. Sure, my life is nice, but I'm not gonna be earning enough money if I live like this for 10 more years.

I'm pretty happy as it stands. I think I'm doing really well for a guy my age. Of course I dont want to be here forever.

What should you do to change that? make a list of things you want to accomplish.

What can you do different to meet new people?
