In my Next 10 years

In 10 years I will be 30 years old and hopefully living my life to the fullest. I have a lot of goals, dreams, and ideas for how I will be living my life in 10 years.
I envision that in the year 2018 I will be married to the love of my life and we will have two kids. I can only imagine how being married and having kids is like. I am actually very excited about that part of my life. Some people fear being 30 with a wife and two kids, being a soccer coach but I think I will love that part of my life. Family has always been important to me and I know that it will be when I am the father-figure.
As far as my career goes, I have been thinking about what I want to do for the past five years. For some reason I have always been very career-oriented in what I want to be involved with, especially in 10 years. My ultimate career goal is to be a general manager for an NFL team, but in ten years there is no possible way that happens unless I become a legendary benchmark for my profession. The youngest GM right now in the NFL is 42 years old. That job is something you do not do out of college. Therefore, in 10 years I expect to be in an executive position with an NFL team. This includes an assistant to the GM or director or business or personal operations. These are good gateway jobs to my personal goal of being a GM. If I kept any of those jobs I mentioned and never advanced, that would still be a more than upper quality job for me.
When I am 30, with my job and family I plan on making sure no matter where I live, I come to at least one home Clemson football game a year. I dont think that after I graduate from here I could ever be away from Clemson football for more than a year. When I am 30, I will look back and say that these four years at Clemson where probably some of the best of my life and I will always want to come back. And going back to Clemson, which is my second home; I will also try and go back to my hometown to see my extended family at least once a year as well. I think it is important to keep family close.
In 10 years I will be working for a foootball team somewhere, have a wonderful family, and being living the good life and not be freaking out about being 30 years old.
