ditto for me.
I feel like a loser sometimes for having no goals. And many women on the dating sites want men with career goals (*cough* goldiggers). Why should I have goals when I'm happy where I'm at?
What are your long range and short range career goals and objectives?

I always assumed you were a colonel! Convert to the Dark Side here; I still think it's the best thing I ever did (Major (rtd) Pig has a better ring to it that 'WO2(CSM) Pig', or worse 'Mr Pig' - do you think I spent twenty years here to be called 'Mr'?) but I know someone who managed to get further up the greasy pole than me and hated it; he went from being Sergeant-Major of the Welsh Guards to a bitter Lt-Col in a desk job at Whitehall. That said they definitely do make you work for a living although I still remember the time I snapped that without thinking a few days after I got my commission only to realise what I'd done and apologise profusely to one bemused squaddy... it's a different world up with the blue-bloods.

Goals? What are those?
I'm not a very work minded person, the mindset I'm in right now is "Don't get fired, acquire funds to go to concerts."

What you want to do? Didn't you answer that yourself:
No, I do get that you wonder about your career before you become a mother, but if you want to be a full-time mother, then isn't that what you want to do...?
Anyways, what timeframe are you considering for getting your first kid then? By mid-twenties? Around 30? 35?
As for me, I haven't thought about it properly, but I really should. For now I have:
Short-term: Get a certification or two on the software system I'm currently working on, do some proper development on a smartphone platform and get a promotion within a year.
Long-term: Quit this job before a year has passed and get some other job. I'm thinking finance and banking, but I think I'd need to make my way through IT or something...

Well, short term I'd like to have some sort of career, to justify all the money I've spent on university (which was always the plan and reason I went there), and to feel like I've had a sense of proper independence, but as soon as i can really, I want to have a family and kids. If the right person came along today I'd take up the offer immediately, no question.

You've obviously been spoon-fed misogynist propaganda
Nah, I'm just a broody so-and-so!

So you'd rather have a baby then stay in a career that will ultimately leave you alone in old age?

Well, I don't necessarily think that having a career will leave me alone in old age, but I would take motherhood and marriage over a career any day!

Not sure if serious...

I want to end up on JSA by the end of the year
Exactly my reaction, there are actually people (not just women) that feel that being a mother is akin to slavery by men by denying them a right to work. I do not understand at all. Also the pill and on demand abortions are rights that give them power over slavery...

I'm in sales , so there is no Nobel prize , Olympic gold , cure for cancer , trip to Mars or bloody coups on my long term agenda unfortunately .
I quite enjoy my job , but everything I do is geared towards my goal of the earliest retirement possible so I can spend as long as possible traveling the world having adventures before I drop dead of a heart attack in some exotic location . Big house , fancy car etc mean nothing to me .
