What is your dream?

[sigmoidkilo]

Grad school in Maths is coming up pretty soon - I’d like to finish that and go on to my PhD. Most of my specialty so far has been in statistics and data science. I also have a degree in computer science. I intend to contribute to Machine Learning research - especially with data driven applications.

I already have a full time job where I can apply some of it, but I’d like to be building more complex models.

I’m working to increase my income, and increase how much I save and invest. My ultimate goal is to have my PhD done in 10 years, and retire by 50, to consult and teach. But when I do that, I want to have enough money to do the things my wife and I enjoy.

I hope and pray that one day my children will understand why I’m so selfishly busy all the time. Even more than that, I hope they both work hard to build great lives for themselves, and contribute to the furthering of humanity. Most of all, I hope they learn that working as hard as possible for what you want to achieve is the most important thing in this world. That you need not concern yourself with the thoughts of others, because it is your life, and you MUST do what you want to be happy, even if it means delayed gratification.

Edit: I also want to pop bottles on the weekend.
