• Continue my education, by moving forward into the Graduate Program and receiving my master’s in biology.
• Finding an occupation where I am able to live comfortably and happily.
• Eventually going on to med school or vet school… hopefully
• Travel and do volunteer work in undeveloped countries, mostly medical help, whether it is for humans or animals.
• Attend conventions that deal with what I am passionate about or interested in.

Career Issues:

• Liking/Loving my job
• Making enough money
• Job security
• Having a job that I can learn new things every day and not have the same routine day in and day out. 

 Things to consider that are important to me:

• Family
• Location
• Status
• Life style
• Income
• Stability

Where I want to be in 5 years:

• Graduated with a Masters in Biology
• Holding a steady part-time job that actually relates to my career goals.
• Applying for positions in a laboratory career.
