In the next 10 years I plan on gaining valuable experience and degrees that will help me for the rest of my life. I will grow as a student and as a business professional. I have used my experiences from college to help me decide which path I would like to take, and I am not taking the necessary steps for this plan to happen.

After I graduate from college I plan on being an officer in the Marine Corps. I am already attending Officer Candidate School to prepare for this. I went to a 6-week training course this past summer and will return for another 6-weeks next summer. I will use the knowledge and leadership experience I gain in the Marines to find the right career after I leave.

My career in the military depends on how I place in my training, but I have a general goal of what I want to do. After a tour of duty I want to be stationed somewhere near a University that I can take MBA classes at night. The Marine Corps GI Bill will pay for most if not all of my MBA costs. My length of time in the Marines will depend on how my feelings on forming a family are and how I feel my career is doing.

I plan on using my leadership experience and organization skills I gained in the military to gain a management position somewhere. I am currently working towards a minor in Marketing and may use that to help me get a marketing management position. I am also interested in working in the business-to-business sales field. Eventually I would like to be a manager in a large company where I can work my way up to top-level management. I would love to eventually become a Chief Executive Officer of a mid-size to large company.

I am now twenty years old and have started taking the steps necessary in order for me to start a successful business career. I know there will be many unforeseen challenges and I will adapt to overcome these obstacles.
