I think I have an idea what I want to do:
- Continue to work in a corporate setting for the next 10-15 years
- In parallel, support my wife in her endeavors, and potentially support her to put up our own business
- In parallel, find other hobbies to keep myself sane
- Have 3-4 kids and ensure they live the best life under me and my wife’s leadership
- After 10-15 years, find another job or personal endeavor
- When my children are already working, build my own recording studio and operate it, repair/maintain guitars, and get a regular gig with old musicians like me

I love my job now – Program Manager for accounting implementations, PMO leader, FR/F1 site leader, project management training owner. I think it’s because it’s new, there’s too much to learn, too many things to do (ie. multi tasking), and I impact more people.
I guess in general, everytime I am new to a role, I love it. Hmmm… so I think my career objective is reinforced: “To try different roles until I find that one role where I will be most passionate about”
Another job I’d probably love when I retire from corporate is to own a recording studio/band practice studio, operate it, repair guitars, and do a rock or jazz gig every week.
