Default Your goals and plans for the upcoming years

What's everyone's near future plan like? I felt like posting this in other forums but I figured this place is the best as everyone here is around the same age group (18~30). I've been pretty confused lately to what I want to do upon graduation. Going to be a senior after the summer and the thought of having to job hunt once September comes is really starting to creep up on me right now.

Increase GPA to 3.7 to graduate with all the fancy latin and titles.

Make it through OCI, find job that I enjoy for next summer, get offer for employment after graduation.

Try and land a good clerkship.

Avoid top paying sweatshops, for lower paying near-sweatshop.

Pay off all school loans for both UG and law school in <5 years so that I can have freedom (yeah I know interest rates on them are low, invest, etc. but I just want them done and earning and losing 1% is fine for now)

Pay off all parent's debts.

Hopefully since I'm not at a sweatshop, enjoy my job, progress within the firm.

Get married, buy a house. Help my parents buy a house. No kids for a good while.

Heh, same with me. I was originally planning on going to grad school but based on my recent post on the same page (titled Investment Banking), you can probably see that I'm going to try breaking into the finance world, get a job as an analyst, go to B-school after 2 years, and we'll see from there. Best of luck with the job hunt.
