Bucket List: Jayson Jones

 

            At nearly any time the last thing I want to think about is the future. Often, I wish to keep potential future horrors out of my mind; the present, the right here, right now, is usually less scary to think about. Yet, I eventually must think about the future and what I wish to do with it. Creating a bucket list is one way to accomplish this. The main things on my bucket list are finishing my degree, getting a stable, high-paying job, and achieving happiness and fulfillment.

            The main thing I am focusing on right now is completing my education. My goal is to earn my bachelor’s degree in accounting. Today, having a college education is paramount to having any palpable chance of success in life. Being accredited in a business field will open me to many opportunities in the future. The most obvious of these opportunities to me is a job as an accountant. Accounting jobs typically pay within the $45,000-$70,000 range, fulfilling the high-paying job part of the list. In order to feel fulfilled in life, having this high-paying job and being debt-free are to play a major role in my life. They say money cannot buy happiness but having a surplus in income that I could burn for all I care will certainly be able to buy things that will lead to my happiness. Having extra money around can give me and my potential family many experiences and treasures through the years. If I still do not feel complete in life, I could always go back to school to further my education, not only to occupy myself, but possible reach an even better job.

            All in all, my bucket list mainly centers around having money and fulfillment.
