I am speaking too "hmm what would I do with X" when "X" isn't happening in the next 3-6 months and more like 5-10 years. No point in thinking about it, worry about it when you're in that situation (3-6 month time horizon).
There's short term and long term planning, and i engage in both. Sometimes, a person may need to have a pretty good idea about where he wants to be in the long term, even 30-40 years into the future in order to decide what to do in the short-term, whether banging or the kind of work he choses.
In this regard, just as I usually do not share my financial information with others, i frequently decide not to share my long term goals with people - especially, when in my thinking, it may not be relevant to my relationship with that person (whether a guy or a girl).
