sampsonmills — 2024-01-06 20:48:00 UTC

When I graduate from high school, I plan on going straight to college, because of the careers I'm considering will take many years to complete. So, I would like to compete my core classes. And then I start work toward a business degree, which will take a little bit to accomplish but I will be determined, and I will get it done. And the reason I want to get a business degree is because it can work so well with many other degrees. And the reason for 18 years is because I know I will be in college for over 10 years and I want to give little big plan which include what I plan to do with my degree and much. Overall, My American Dream is to be my own boss.

So, After High School, I want to go to college. And the college I want to go to is UGA because it's so close to my home and it's an outstanding college. During these 3 years, I will work on myself and think about what I want to do for the rest of my life. And I will also finish my core classes to get them out of the way. Of course, I will need to find a job, but hopefully, it won't hinder me because I'm hoping to earn some scholarships. After all, currently, I have a 4.0 GPA in high school. Which if you look at https://www.prepscholar.com/sat/s/colleges/UGA-admission-requirements#:~:text=The%20acceptance%20rate%20at%20UGA,more%20flexible%20than%20other%20schools.

It states, "The acceptance rate at UGA is 42.5%. For every 100 applicants, 43 are admitted." But I have heard that you have to have a good SAT score and good GPA to get in straight after high school but if you transfer it is a lot easier to get in.

After I complete all of my core classes in college, I plan on going after a business degree. I figure it gives me more time to think about what I want to do. People may think it's a waste of money, but I see it as another way to make yourself more useful to the world and I also have noticed that a business degree's works extremely well with so many other degrees. If you examine the website, "How Long Does It Take to Get a Business Degree? | Coursera", It states "The length of time it takes to get a bachelor’s in business degree can vary depending on the program, the school, and other factors. The average bachelor’s degree program requires you to complete 120 credit hours. If you’re a full-time student, this could take four years of completing 15 credits per semester over eight semesters. If you’re a part-time student, it could take up to seven years or longer." Because I want at least a bachelor's degree it takes about 4 years to just get a bachelor's degree.

By this point in my life, I have competed my goal of getting a business degree and getting another degree. And I believe I will already create a stable business with some help from some business partners. And I will work at this place and build it up of course I know owning a business will be hard but, it will be my business and I hate bosses, so I want to be my own boss.And I will start on my next degree, when I accomplish my goal of getting my bachelors business degree. And hopefully I have paid back what I owe too. Which if you look up the average cost for a bachlar business degree it states on https://osfa.uga.edu/cost, it basically cost 28k a year without anything, but of course I'll have scholarships and they will help a lot.

After I have accomplished going to school and making sure I am well off enough to support someone financially, I will start looking for someone to spend the rest of my life with. The reason I want to wait so long is because I want to make sure my family doesn't struggle with money. And once I find someone, I want to travel the world before having a family and buying a house. I believe by these years my business will be run by a GM and managers and other employees which allows me to be home/away. But if you look at the website, "https://www.freshbooks.com/hub/startup/how-long-does-it-take-business-to-be-profitable", it states "Two to three years is the standard estimation for how long it takes a business to be profitable. That said, each startup has different initial costs and ways of measuring business profitability. A business could have enough cash to become profitable immediately or take three years or longer to make money." And definitely, by 2039 I should be married to someone.

Hopefully, I will have a family and have the house of me, and my wife's dreams built. I believe my business has grown to the point I just get a paycheck for just being home. Of course, I will go into the business to check on everything and make sure everything is in check. And I believe my kids will pretty small so I most likely wouldn't be traveling a lot. I believe by this time I will be looking to open more locations for my business and expanding the reach of my business. And according to https://www.lightspeedhq.com/blog/7-steps-open-a-second-business/, it states, "1. Choose a location 2. Develop a marketing plan 3. Create a business plan 4. Set up accounting 5. Get capital to open a second business location 6. Hire employees 7. Buy supplies and inventory.8.Preserve culture across locations. " and this basically explains what I need to do to start the next location of my business.
