Ben posted about this over the weekend, and it made me think a bit. When I was just graduating college, and was asked the question, I had a few answers I thought I could give to that.
In 5 years I
- Would not be working for IBM (false)
- Would hopefully have gotten to the Olympics (true)
- Would be married to my then girl friend (false)
- Would have moved out of the Hudson Valley (false)
- Would never consider going back to grad school (false)
The most surprising things that happened in that same 5 years were
- Getting the job in the Linux Technology Center at IBM (the reason I stayed)
- Starting the LUG, and meeting lots of friends through it
- Meeting Susan, and all that has happened since
- Learning to Sail
- That the Olympics thing actually panned out π
