I was talking to Cindy this evening and she asked me where I thought I would be in five years time, seeing as I had been discussing Uni.

Interesting question.  I hope to be working with GLBTIQ people as a psychologist, in an effort to help others avoid some of the crap I went through when I was younger.  It may also  involve living in France . 

So, where will you be in five years time?

Karen.

As someone who isn't going to progress much, I will be here, getting my daily sanity dose in Susans'. (That is, assuming she hasn't got totally fed up with us all by then!!).

Hmmmmm.  Interesting.

If we are talking our hopes and dreams, It would be to be in the field of veterinary medicine in the UK.  I am close to graduating as a Veterinary Technician (a.k.a. Vet Nurse).  After getting my AVMA certification, I want to migrate to the UK.

In reality, I would be 61, so I would try to draw social security as an early retirement, if my disability does not come through.

In five years, I am hoping to be getting ready to complete graduate school, and start working on my PhD. During which I am hoping to be a successfull woman who has also had SRS.

In five years?  Uh...older! Grrrrr

But I'm already happier than I was 5 years ago! And within the next 5 I might figure out what to do about being a female business owner in a male dominated industry, perhaps I will just change trades and do something different with other skills I have...we will see

That's a real no brainer. Very simple, deep and ultra rewarding.

Already have the wheels in motion. To be in a relationship with the man of my dreams (seeings dreams DO come true) and working on either adoption or surrogacy if I don't already have my family.

A very uncomplicated lifestyle. What could be better?

Moved to a new city....a new job....a new life. 

As long as I'm still on the sunny side of the grass, I'll be happy

So, where will you be in five years time?

I'd like still to be doing the job I'm doing now, but as a female. I'd like to have SRS, but I don't know if I'd go through with it. Lots of risks and pain.

I'd like to be the parent of a college graduate and a college junior, and I'd like still to be in a marriage where we find a way to express our feelings physically despite the gender obstacles.

Dream on, kid, dream on.

I will well and truly be living life as a full fledged man by that point, with no moobs and hopefully no more squeaky breaking voice and acne, with my foot in the door on the way to building up my career (I don't know exactly what doing yet, we'll see after I finish college) and having my own home with a mortgage instead of paying rent would be marvellous ^_^

Actually, like Karen, I'm considering becoming a psychologist.  I already have my BS so it's only 5 years to get my PsyD.  I'm considering clinical or counseling psychology possibly with a focus on sex therapy (not sex surrogate).  I can't wait to get out of IT.

In five years I expect to be fully transitioned and of course living/working as a woman.  Likely my marriage will be over with my ex being (hopefully) one of my best friends.

Relationship wise I'd be happy to be with someone(s?) that can accept me and love me for the crazy woman that I am.  And that believes a past as a man makes me a better woman.

in the mirror. and hopefully also on a tv screen of the type that we use for telecom teaching, but if not, i'd love to at least see myself in the mirrors at the local school rather often.

my plan is to stay a teacher for the rest of my life, possibly combine it with more education. but first i'd need to study pedagogy. if i'm lucky, i'll be able to make myself so indispensable that people wouldn't even care if i go a lot weirder than just wearing odd hair colors.

Five years older...or maybe dead...who knows?  I don't think that far in the future anymore.

Same here. It helps cut down on the disappointment too.

Well, I'll be done with my surgeries and can enjoy summer wearing just a t-shirt, yay.

Other than that, I suspect I'll be where I am now, work wise. I am hoping for a career change though, I just gotta figure out what else I could do.. (If I won the lottery, I'd love to go back to school.. as a student)

At lest I need to be outta this flat and living in a smaller but newer and healthier one.

Still single.

I hope to have completed or near completed my Bachelor of Science degree and making concrete plans to move to another province to do my Masters.
I hope to have been on T for most of those five years and maybe save up enough money for top surgery (if I'm lucky). I hope to look a lot more like how I'm supposed to.

I hope to be an established fashion designer with at least one boutique open.  I also hope to be completely finished with my transition!

All over everywhere .

In 5 years I'll be free to be a guy. And I'll be rich from the investments I'm currently ankle-deep in right now....then I'll go and make a foundation to help FTMs pay for chest reconstruction surgery so they don't have to bind and develop chest complications =D

Five years from now, I find myself being in a more comfortable position where I can look at myself and like it. I want to love myself, and have more confidence! I will also be finishing college five years down the line from now!

My wife jokes "Who in their right mind wants to be a 56 year old woman". Well, in 5 years a 56 /o woman sure sounds better than 61 

If onl I knew for sure
