Me & 10 years

For me, 10 years from now means that I will be 30; let me first just say wow. As for where I want to be, in all honesty I'm not really sure as to all the details. Personally I kind of know what I want. I'd like to be married and definitely settled down by then, and also have one or two kids depending on when I'm married. I really want to stay somewhere local so I can be close to my family. As for my future career wise, well the one thing I do know for sure is that I really hope to have a job that I find amazing & really enjoy. The thing about what kind of job I want is kind of hard because I definitely know what I don't want to do, but I'm only just a sophomore and have just begun to take higher level courses in accounting. As of right now I'd like to pursue a job in financial or managerial accounting in a medium size company, or I might go to work for my parents. There I would also handle the financials for the business that they are partners in which is a new company that will be opening up May-ish of this year called Crescent Biodiesel. I really wouldn't be opposed to working there because I'm very big on environmental issues. That leads me to another aspiration that I have for the next 10 years. I really want to make an impact on people to get serious about our environment and the condition that our planet is in. I'm not sure how I'll do it, but I'd like to implement a program into small companies and large corporations alike that will not only save them money but use their impact to reduce our emissions and help save natural resources. A big thing for some companies is that it can be very costly to implement new equipment or change product so some companies, mainly smaller organizations, have trouble implementing new procedures without going broke. Basically I'd like to have a happy life at home, a job that I love, be financial stable/well off, and an impact on our environment within the next 10 years of my life.

Web 2.0 Response

I think the title means that the internet as a whole is evolving, hence 2.0. I also think it is trying to display how much we as a society actually rely on the use of the world wide web. Think about it, can you seriously imagine not being able to look up pretty much anything you can imagine and find a response within seconds? The internet has changed society so much, and the change is going to continue.
Web 2.0 I would say affects people who are entering the workforce by showing them some of the possibilities that the internet provides. People who are looking for jobs have numerous options that allow someone to post their resume, provide tips, and more. For people already in the workforce they are reaping the benefits as well with massive databases of information that is readily available at the click of a button, communicating with clients thousands of miles away. The internet is a vital asset to every single person.
When it says that we will have to rethink everything, the only the I can think of is even better capabilities, accessibility, and maybe how we use it. This is kind of unclear to me, but if you think about what we have now, and it is already changing at a rapid pace, the only thing we can do is invent newer and better applications. I can't imagine how much more accessible the internet could be, I mean you can already get it on your phone & iPod, but there will be something else. Lastly, I think that we might have to rethink what we use it for because I think the main thing people use it for is email, socializing, and research. There are so many possibilities that could become available that would be beneficial to work as well as everything else.

Introduction

My name is Ashley Phillips and I am currently a sophomore accounting major here at Clemson. I'm from Pelzer, SC which is a small town on the outskirts of Anderson. During my free time I love the outdoors, some hunting, fishing, the lake, water sports, movies, and traveling. I also love to lay around with my dog. Her name is Molly and she is a 2 1/2 year old long hair Chihuahua. My all time travel destination right now is Italy. So far I've only ventured to the north and south of America. I hope you have a better perspective of who I am, and if you have any questions just ask.
