In 5 years I expect to have a PhD in film (or at least being close to getting it... defending my thesis), and to be writing/directing feature films.  I'd love to be a university professor at UCLA or USC, but also write and/or direct features.

In 10 years I expect to be working in a tenure track position at one of the above mentioned universities, and still writing/directing films.  I'll begin my series of filmmaking and film criticism books.

In 15 years I expect to have tenure at one of the above mentioned  universities, and probably not still making films.  Still writing books about screenwriting, general filmmaking, acting, and general film criticism.

Stranger things have happened.

If things go right, perhaps we'll meet at a conference someday.

Here's something that could jump start someone's five year plan.

Pretty funny read to boot.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, with all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves, let me forget about today until tomorrow.

in five years i'll have (most likely) gone through college. weird, considering i'm just getting my applications in. i'll also probably still be an admin at xixax and people still won't realize it.

in ten years, i'll take my film degree and get a job at a video shop.

in fifteen years, i'll disappear suddenly and nobody will know where i went. little do they know i'm seeking enlightenment.

I don't know where I'm going to end up in five years. Hopefully, things will work out like this: Next fall, I get accepted into a large college with a great film department and devote the next some odd years to becoming a film professor or critic. I don't care which it is, but I'd prefer critic.

Thing is, my grades now are decent at best. I've never taken a film class before in my life so I have to rest on my just decent grades. I don't think I'm going to get in. Actually, I have my first film class this winter semester. Its just an introduction class to film.

If I don't get in, I'm likely heading to Green Bay and interning in a video production company and seeing what comes of that. The guy who runs the company is my cousin and he really wants me to get involved so I may do it. I wouldn't enjoy it as much as the first option.

Concerning my career, I'm not too hopeful about my prospects. Guess I shouldn't have blown off grade school, junior high school, high school and community college. But whatever, I don't see much in being anything great career wise to measure the value of life.

I'll probably still be here, updating future members with news about your projects.

awww!  how cute!

years from now, if anybody here makes it big (which, in a perfect world, we all will), slip xixax references in your movies. spraypaint "xixax" on a wall in the background or have a character named mike wilson or something. we'll be known as the "xixax alumni" and there will be spreads about us in entertainment weekly and shit. that'll rock.

Word... then people will start lying and saying that they were on XIXAX too and we'll all be like "You were?  Who were you?" and they'll be all "Yeah I was Beefsack" or "Q"

Definitely. He would be the mailman.

Xixax

Xixax references have already been promised by a couple of filmmakers here.

I'm such a wannabe celebrity.

Heck, Xixax.com already has a special thanks credit secured in the credits of the film I'm working on now (and anyone who wants an exec. producer credit can feel free to e-mail me 8) ).
