On this website a group of seniors from a San Diego high school were interviewed by the New York Times about their 10-year plans. Most of the plans would be realistic if the students would apply themselves. Many of the seniors said something about money being tight so they might have a hard time paying for college. The student that I think is most likely to make their plan a reality would probably be the girl who wants to be a pediatrician, she seemed really sure of her decision and very motivated. The student who is least likely to achieve their goals in my opinion would definitely be the boy who wants to be a marijuana baker because really there is no way that business would get approval to start. Some of these kids just seem to be giving an answer that sounds good. They sound like they aren't really sure of their decision and a just making it up.
In 10 years I hope to be working at a nice hospital as a PA (physicians assistant) alongside a great doctor. I don't know what specialty I would like to go into yet but definitely not cancer or old people, it's just too sad. PA's make a fair amount of money and don't have to work crazy hours like a doctor or surgeon does. They also don't have the huge responsibility that a surgeon does because they work under someone. I have a friend who is a PA and have shadowed him and it was awesome.
