This blog entry is one I have thought about many times in my life. I use it to determine where I stand as far as goals, hopes, and dreams. Now that I am in the thick of college and the “real world” is just around the corner it is certainly time to think about career goals, personal goals, and visions. I have three major goals which I am looking to accomplish within the next five years. Here they are in order from very important to most important.
First, I would like to “pass the test”. I am looking to become a CPA and to do that I must pass the dreaded CPA Exam. This is certainly a great deal of work and the idea of studying AFTER college is over does not sound like fun. I know it must be done though and I know it would certainly make my family very proud. Second, I would like to “get the job.” I am currently interning at an accounting firm and am learning a lot. To turn this internship into a successful full time job is going to take, again, a great deal of work. But I know that this is what we go to school for and when the time comes that I am given the opportunity to achieve my goal of successfully being in the “real world,” you better believe I will be ready.
Finally, I want to “help the family.” If it seemed as if I was the only one that was to benefit from the first two goals, that is not the case. The reason it is so important to me to make this happen soon is because I have a family who could use financial help. I love my mom and my siblings and I want nothing more than to be able to be a significant source of income coming into the house within the next five years. I am one of those who believe money can buy happiness. Now of course there are exceptions and of course the other side of this has valid arguments but I know I have seen unhappiness brought about by a lack of money. So I say more money would decrease that unhappiness. My goals are geared around that, my life is geared around that.

Passing CPA is very important, I guess almost everyone from accounting major wish to accomplish it ASAP. This goal can be a reality very soon.
Well, getting a job can be challenging, but also real. I liked your "helping the family" cause I am on my own since I was 16. I understand you very well. Good Luck!!!
I can certainly understand what you want when you say you want to help your family. I can even see that as being 2 goals in one there. Since when you achieve that point in your life, you can also consider yourself to be "set" in your way of life, and things are truely going how you want them to. And while I don't know much about the CPA, I know it's more difficult than most tests and is definately quiite the accomplishment.
Well..your post was one of the most interesting ones. and i agree with a 100 percent cause i also want to achieve the most that i possibly can in my career...and most of the times money can buy happiness ...;)
