10 Years

In ten years I hope to be starting my career. I have to be honest and say I have never really thought about what I want to do. Well, I mean to say that I don't know what I want to do with my life. I have student loans to pay as well as figure out a way to live from day to day without my parents money. They dont help much but without the help they give I dont know what I would do. I am a management major with a minor in coaching. I love sports so I might go into coaching; but I do desire to own my own business one day. To do this I will need to get a job managing or interning at a well known company like BMW, Oconee Nuclear, or something to that sort. This will give me knowledge of the internal workings of business. I hope to have found a girl/woman that is loyal, loving, and willing to work through rough times with me because I know I can be difficult here and there. Since Wednesdays class I have given thought about the army because they would pay a huge chunck of my student loans. However, if I do that I will be setting the beginning of my life back by several years because I will have to give them so many years in service. I need to think more but I feel as though time is running out. In ten years I just hope that I am happily married with children, have a good paying job, and am still alive.

Utube Video

In my opinion, this is a very interesting video. The video is showing the viewer the way the web has made the speed of life change. Actually it is showing us how drasticaly the web has moved our lives. I am not sure what the titile of the presentation means though, but with some time I might. Web 2.0 links everyone to everything. When getting ready to enter the workforce knowledge of the internet can be a very valuable tool. It allows a worker to get info from mutliple sources and may help someone do their job better. For people already in the workforce it means they must do some learning. They must learn in order to not get their jobs taken by younger employees. The end of the movies says we will need to rethink everything. Now do we really need to rethink everything of just change habits. The world is changing and getting more connected. The internet connects people from all over the world. Therefore we need to get use to the idea of using the internet in personal and professional aspects.

About me

Hello! My name is Michael Wald. I am a senior here at Clemson and I plan to graduate in the fall. I went to Seneca High school so I am a hometown kid. I plan to open my own business one day but I need some job experience first. My main goals are to graduate and to find a loving caring woman who I can start my family with. This will take time but it is well worth it. I drive a Saturn Ion, not the best, but it gets me where I need to go. It is currently getting fixed because of a finder bender I had this summer over the holidays, and no I wasn't drunk. If you need to know anything else just ask.
