...3 Long Term Goals Within the next 5-10 years my long-term goals are get my masters in marketing communications, become a certified sports agent, and serve 2-3 years in the air force. I have chosen these long-term goals because these are the three aspects in my life I want to aim towards in order for me to become successful. These three will not only help me but also benefit me in an ample amount of ways. My first long-term goal involves with me getting my masters. Now in order for me to obtain my masters I first must obtain my bachelor’s in marketing communications. It will take a while but to it is worth it because I haven’t seen many people at my level go further with there college career and try to obtain a master’s. I feel as if, if I am one of those who aren’t like the rest and I actually obtain a master’s, it can give me an edge over a lot of others when applying for a job, because it looks well presentable on a resume. Becoming a certified sports agent is my secondary long-term goal for the next 5-10 years. Reason being is, well, long story short, I am a sports fanatic. I always loved watching all types of sports. And I have a great knowledge for it, especially for basketball. Basketball is a sport that I love, but I could never play the game as well as coach or debate about it in discussions with others. But I always wanted to be involved around it in my professional career. The thing with sports agents is that they can be an agent of a big time player and...

...hospital. Moreover, I found myself in constant admiration of the nurses that worked there. The nurses I met were incredibly intelligent, industrious, and always helping co-workers, patients, and visitors. In my third year of college, I realized that these nurses were everything that I had envisioned for myself. Then I came to a frightening conclusion: I no longer wanted to study finance, the major I had been pursuing for the past two and a half years (The "third year of college" reveals this already. How long had you been interested in business before that?). Slowly, I had grown discontent with my studies, losing interest in schoolwork that failed to resonate with my changing goals. I no longer wanted to work in business; instead I wanted to work in a setting that allowed me to have a direct impact on the lives of others. After researching the profession more thoroughly, I decided that I would like to go into the field of nursing. In regards to nursing, my short term goals are related to education. I place an emphasis on education because I believe it is the vehicle that allows us to move forward in our lives. That being said, in the near future I hope to attend an accredited nursing program where I can receive an encompassing education through rigorous coursework and gain the...

...According to the dictionary a Goal is a person's ambition or effort to achieve something. Everyone has a goal to accomplish whether it's a long term goal or short term goal. Long term goals take 12 months or more to achieve and short term goals take 12 months or less. Long term goals are harder to achieve than short term. My goals are definitely long term rather than short term goals. My goals are to get accepted into Virginia Tech, to play on Tech’s lacrosse team, and have a house next to a ski resort. First, I want to get accepted to go to Virginia Tech. I want to go there because it is my favorite school and my aunt went there. To get accepted I have to work harder and longer on my grades. I got to get every homework, project, and essay in on time. Its most popular majors are engineering, business, and management. I want to major in engineering because I want to learn how to build and fix things. If I have a problem with something I would be able to fix it. Getting accepted to Virginia Tech would help me later in life with problems....

...Deciding when Short-term or Long-term Goals Drive a Decision Rickey Paradise GEN480 MAY 09, 2013 Professor Annie Debeljak University of Phoenix Deciding when Short-term or Long-term Goals Drive a Decision To determine the difference in short-term and long-term decisions one must understand that most decisions have both. As a planner and estimator making difficult decisions is a daily occurrence. The decisions made today effect the long-term decisions because the goal may change, such as making a schedule to complete a task. The long term estimated delivery of the product may be six months away. However, the short-term goals and decisions to achieve the goal effect the scheduled date because bottlenecks occur, such as retrieving the parts to complete the task on time. Personal goals have the same consequences. Planning his or her education is a one way to understand this concept. If an individual makes a decision to obtain his or her degree in two years the long-term goal is set. However, during the course of the year a tragedy occurs and the individual has to change the long-term goal because the short-term goals are affected. Critical thinking while setting the goal may have solved the problem. Allowing for inconvenient occurrences while setting the long-term goal helps to maintain the set schedule. Setting goals require making small steps to obtain the long-range goal. Monitoring the short-term goals is one way to achieve the long-term goal. According to Rosen L...

...enhance my SAP skills to a more managerial role. The program for strategy Field study would help me learn from case based and real time scenarios in actual situations, which would help me, get a firsthand experience of project planning and timelines.

...Professional and Personal Goals December 12, 2011 Someone famous once wrote, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” That’s deep! But, in a way, it’s obvious and should go without saying. However, so many people try to just jump the whole thousand miles at once and seem to forget that careful steps and rest stops must be made along the way to successfully (the main word is successfully ) complete that journey. I’ve had my goals and aspirations for a long time but I’m not sure that I ever started out in the most organized fashion. My professional goals remain the same but I now realize that effective time management is the main way to achieve my goals in a less stressful manner. I understand that setting goals is very important so that one can determine what is important and what is not. It helps one concentrate on the big picture and gives one the freedom to spend less time on the not so important things. The goals that are set should be attainable, specific, measurable, realistic, and timely. My professional short term goal is to acquire a staff or per diem position at one of the few hospitals in the area which are willing to hire nurses with associate degrees. I was, until I started school, a traveling nurse, but, due to the course of study I am undergoing, I’ve had to stop traveling. My professional long term goal is to ultimately receive a master’s degree so that I can become a nurse practitioner or a clinical instructor. I...

...Goal Setting Long-Term Goal Today I am going to tell you about my long, medium, and short-term goals. All of those goals are different so they mean many different things. In ten years I would see myself in college because my education is important to me. No matter what is going on in my life I will always want to go to college so that people can be proud of me. What I will be doing is learning about the law so, most of the time I will be reading, writing, and math is used in the career that I would like to do. The career I will have is being a lawyer. The reason I want to be a lawyer is that I like to help people in hard situations. Choosing this goal is important to me because I want to be the person to say “ I made this person happy” and because I will be a hero for saving people in their needs. Other than money the career will give me a chance to see other people’s lives instead of just mine. What relationship that school does for m to help reach my goal is teaching me about being respectful, solving math problems, reading papers, and writing things out. This stuff is useful because we have to use all of these things in that career. Medium-Term Goal...

...The long-term goal of foster care is safe reunification with parents or another permanent plan, such as adoption. Although I don't think it's fair that the child has to be punished because of the family action. I still think they have the right to have a loving family. Being able to help a child in need and become a better person is an amazing thing. Children are in foster care because they or their families are going through a crisis. Children are put in foster care for many different reasons. Children from babies to teen have been removed from their parents because they are unsafe, abused or neglected. Foster care is a temporary situation until the parent get on tract. Someone would agree to foster a child until then. Although some situations...

...Setting the Short-term and Long-term Goals for Newlyweds It is important for the newlyweds to have a financial plans set up as it helps them have a focus in life and have a reason for saving money. The short-term goals would involve things that would not require a lot of money and thus would be achieved in a short time. The long-term goals on the other hand would entail things that require a lot of money to accomplish and thereby take more time to complete (McKeown, 2012). Short-term Goals The first short term goal that I would advise the couple to set is improving the outlook of their house. This would include buying equipment that they do not have but they need them. These items include things such as furniture and electrical appliances. They would do a research on the prices of the gadgets in the market and thereby be able to note the specific target in terms of money. They would then set the amount that they should save monthly towards the furniture and electrical appliances (Hallman & Rosenbloom, 2003). The couple should also target at clearing all their financial debts. They should set aside a specific sum of money monthly to pay these debts. After clearing their debts they should then save up money, which they can use, in case they face a financial problem. This would help them avoid getting into debts in the future (Hallman & Rosenbloom, 2003). They should also save for their annual vacation. This should be done throughout the years since each year they...
