...of being a graduate student is that applications *never* end. Alas. Particularly annoying essay question: "This statement should address your career goals, with particular emphasis on where you expect to be in 5, 10, and 20 years." At this point, my career goals are not different for me for 5, 10 and 20 years: in all of them, I would like to be teaching at a university.
So this is what I wrote: "I hope to finish my studies and then begin to teach in a university within the next five years. I plan to remain in academia; ideally in ten years I will be finishing up my second book. Twenty years from now is a bit of a stretch for my imagination—I do know, however, that I hope to have white hair by that time."
