Jus wondering if anyone here has a plan about their work / career?
e.g. You're now 20 and plan to work for next 40 years and save then retire at 60
or work 6 months a year and travel 6 months a year, etc
Anyone have a master plan?

I think life is too unpredicatable to really be able to plan these things though, I'm 18 and I can really only see the next few years, I don't know what job I'm going to have or how much money I'm going to earn, or what my other circumstances might be and of course these things will affect everything.
I have about 5 or 6 different plans but all are basically escape routes leading to the same destination.
But, the only two that i'm totally decided on is having children from 25+ & owning a Porsche 911 Turbo so i'll need a job that pays mighty well if i'm not going to have to save for 10 odd years;)
I plan to work up the ranks in the Merchant navy until I reach Chief Engineer. Then a few options are open to me:
1. I'd like to get into shipbuilding. Probably in a management capacity.
2. I fancy getting involved in politics; I could become a local councillor.
3. Get into ship preservation, become Chief Engineer of a paddlesteamer. Get onto telly lots. Become the next Fred Dibnah.
