Plan A: Become a no nonsense highly conservative politician. Run for presidential office three times. Fail to earn republican nomination the first time, second time lose to a more charming younger democrat, and the third time withdraw due to a highly embarassing scandal. Sadly, I know this will not happen because my family is not rich enough for me to be able to become anything over a local mayor.
Plan B: Become an unemployed inventor who creates a new product that initially sells amazing, but is later withdrawn due to health violations. My company is then sued and I am forced to file bankruptcy.
Plan C: Intentionally hurt myself at any job, and sue my employer.
Plan D: Become a surgeon who one day hears voices from animals and this new found power of translating animals throws my life and career into turmoil. I then come to grasps with my new power and use it to make money.
Plan E: Escape the Matrix...

Be careful dude. You better make sure the lawsuit money lasts for a LOOONG time, 'cause companies generally don't hire people who sued their previous workplace, regardless if they were right or not.

The fun with being an International Relations major is that there really is no plan B as something wholly distinct from what you're up to. I was actually talking with my university's career councilors yesterday, and basically IR Majors can go into any industry so long as a given company in that industry does something internationally (and given all the global trade and foreign direct investment going on today, that's more or less everywhere). So i could work for Firestone tires helping coordinate with the Japanese company that owns them, or work with Ford associating with their plants in Russia, or even stay at my own University, just work in the Study Abroad unit (very unlikely, but possible)

My main plan is to either go teach English in Japan (though that would only be a short-term gig, 1 to 5 years depending on how much I like it and how well I do) or to get into the US Foreign Service, but i'm going to try everywhere I have the time for in my Senior year next year, so anything that isn't the JET Program or the Foreign Service is Plan B, but it would all still be relevant


 Same here, probably next year... I dont qualify for the jet program though... I moving there by the end of the year, probably a month or two, so everything will depend of how well things go by then...

porque eres costariqueno?

One to five years is short-term? Got time to burn, amigo? :P

What are the general reqs, anyway? I wouldn't mind going for it myself.

well, if I can't have a ridiculously good idea that will get me rich, I'll need to work. after the MSc degree (1 and 1/2 year left) I will have 4 years for the PhD, so I still have nearly 6 years to have this idea without working.

Well, currently Plan A is being lived out. Working in Information Technology, Wife with a baby on the way. its hard to think of a Plan B without any of that. But as far as Plan A that hasn't happened yet in the futre I would say its to advance my current career to be able to better support my growing family. If Plan A dosn't work and somehow Im forced out of the IT realm then I would look into counseling and maybe some writing. I like helping people, and also writing about things that interest me.

Plan A was to join the military (a bit of a cop out). Did that. Didn't like it.

Plan A v.1.1 was to be a cop. That went pretty well but certain things made me hate that choice.

Now, I have a well paying job that's so easy, I could do it in my sleep. I don't feel too fulfilled but its stress free. Should I just stay the course? Sometimes, I want to go back to being a cop. If, for some reason, I lose my job, I don't have a plan B. Porn, maybe?







-Oh, I don't mean porn star, either. I mean I'll just go watch some porn.

why didnt you like the army. any how i dont exactly have a plan. Im working with my dad(im 17) in construction, i hate it. When im 18 i will probably join the army infantry. Almost all jobs are so boring to me the only thing that interests me is becoming a cop, or a firefighter(a lot of my family are firefighters). I deffinatly dont plan on going to collage, so for me i will probably join army than ill become cop, firefighter or something similer.

Idk if everything fails and I can't get a career, then I'll aim to be a porn star or something.
