Has your life gone the way you expected it to? What did you imagine your life would be like now when you were a child? When you were a teenager? Shortly after education? Somewhere between leaving education and now?

If it's different to what you expected, why?

What about your life in the future? Do you think it will actually turn out that way, or do you think it will be different? Why?

interesting thoughts....

My life isn't far off how I'd expected... as a young kid I wanted to be a farmers wife (live on a pretty farm, not so much work to do), then I grew out of that & decided I wanted to become a vet... That held me through secondary school until the unis failed to give me a place. Zoology was the backup option but I ha nod plans for after (vague thoughts of PhD), then this MSc turned up (offering bursary) & I had no other options so I took it, then the PhD came up & sounds cool so I'm taking that. So technically I've not yet left education & won't for a while but as yet no plans for after... No plans seems to be working well so far :)

Of course there's my fallback plan of move home to parents, volunteer half the week, work in sainsburys the other then get a job in conservation.... I quite like this plan but have yet to need something to fall back on!
