The Road Map of life

When you are in grade school, your life is simple: have fun, make friends, get your homework done; The Goal: make it to High school.

High school is simple as well: get good grades, do well on the SAT, graduate; The Goal: into a good college.

College also, not too complex: Make friends, party, pass your tests, pick a major, find some internships, go on road trips, scrounge for cash, have the time of your life; The Goal: Graduate. Graduate. Commencement. Move on.

and then? Get a job? Find a career to pursue for the rest of your life? Find a husband or wife? Settle down? Have a family? Buy a house? Pay your bills? invest? travel? try to do something big with your life before you feel like you are old and didn't accomplish anything? The Goal: ... Happiness? save the world? make money?

Perhaps there is a business opportunity to sell road maps for life after college...
