TOPIC: What to do after University?

I'm 24, and have one more year left at University. I'm in line to achieve either a First Class Honours Degree or a 2.1 (highest and second highest degrees you can get) in a Bachelor of Science.
I also have a Higher National Diploma (college degree) in Social Science.
I've had work experience (in a kitchen), and proved that I'm an extremely reliable worker (I want to be the best at what I do).
I have £4,000 saved up ($6,240).
I've been working on Copy Writing lately (with no luck).

However... I have no idea what to do after University.

On the one hand I want to be RICH. I want to retire young-ish and have more than enough money to provide for my family and buy them nice shit. I'm hoping to achieve this by starting a business of some kind once I've built up the necessary skills (so I don't mind working a few years in a demanding job, but not the rest of my life).
On the other, I want FREEDOM. I want to travel, and maybe live in SEA, bang a load of girls, eat good food, etc etc.

As I've no amazing plans yet which will allow me to be free, I figure a career is the route I should take following University. I was thinking sales. However, I know very little about sales, and have no idea what sales careers there are, and which of these would have a high promotion rate/high salary.
Investment banking looks good, but I've no idea the likelihood of me getting into a job like that given my lack of financial background.

I feel like I'm behind, and that the higher education I have is pointless. I don't particularly care about girls right now, I just want my future to be secure.

Any ideas based on the personal stats I provided? Or any careers worth trying to break into (good salaries, high promotion rates, good transferable skills, etc) that I don't know about?

Any help would be appreciated.

help you in the future.

I´m somewhat in the same situation as you guys. I hope for your sake that you have choose to study an interesting subject that is actually interesting...
I have 1 more year until I will archive my master degree in engineering. My grades are not that good but I truly pass all the courses without bigger problem. Good thing for me is that I will work in one of the most "alpha" industries there is, and people always seems interested when I tell them what I do.

The most interesting thing was when I prioritized my studies, I bragged as fuck about my studies and degree and could only (barley..) fuck average and below average girl from my bragging. Now one year later I have worked my body as fucked (low fat etc.), school is "ok". At this point I´m almost only fuck girls of 8-10. Usually when I tell them what my degree is the get hooked up and want to get serious with me.
But still, the first conversation, fuck etc. never includes anything about studies, future etc (seriously it is kind of looser to tell a girl about your future, much better to tell her where you are now and what you are doing ATM).

So a fucking borring tips if you want to girl, stop being so fucking "good guys", start to work out like gorillas, spend that time to get down to those 7%BF and +5kg muscles. In the long end I´m pretty sure that will give you much more then some good grades.

Learning a second language?
Sure that is a nice thing, but how many hot fitness girl do you honestly want to bang you for being able to tell her some sentences in an foreign language ?

Do you want to get a good career or to fuck a lot of girls? or both? Because for both of you it seems like you want to do a career and thinks that the girls then will come for you (haha, i have so many friends that have been thinking this for years now).

No hard feeling guys! Keep it up!

@rippedsmart - Thanks, I'll check it out.

@justanotherguy - Getting girls is obviously important, but so is figuring out a career, or life plan which will earn me a good income. I'd rather feel somewhat secure, that sleep with a ton of girls (although ideally I would have both).

The fun thing is that when you get good with girls, other guys want to be around you. This guys want to ride on your success and be your friend. It might sound silly but being a ladies man will truly improve your career opportunities by the fact that you will make your professional network much larger!

Sure it is your call, just telling you that no one will give a fuck if your a boss when you are 25 or 30. If you got the skills you will get to the top eventually!
My plan for the moment is to finish my education, start working, just learning not hitting for the top (even though I have already been offered kind of position at some big companies).
Then I will get the girl I´m looking for and when I finally have got her I will not have to spend the time chasing girls anymore and can instead start focusing much more on my job!

Find your own game plan and start thinking what you want to do while you are young and what you want to do in 10 years. But remember that now is now and later is later...

Thanks.

I'm just worried because I'm lacking in focus. I'm going to have to make some big decisions this year and next regarding my future. There is so much I want out of life, and I'm beginning to feel like I don't have a whole lot of time to get it all done.

I'm sure once I get back to University and start focusing on that and meeting women, my head will clear a bit.

Second, you can focus on career in your 20s and girls in your 30s. Goodlookingloser.com recommends the first (Chris has a recent article about it), and Wallstreetplayboys.com recommends the second.

I went to Princeton and a lot of my classmates did investment banking. The good thing is that you make a lot of money quickly and you get promoted quickly. The bad thing is you work 80-110 hours per week for the next 5-6 years in a high-stress environment. If you're interested, check out wallstreetplayboys.com and wallstreetoasis.com.

You already know what your heart is in right now. If you can't motivate yourself to work hard in school/work because all you can think about is how you're not getting laid, then focus on girls for now. If you can't get motivated to hit on girls because all you can think about is how poor and low-on-the-totem-pole you are, focus on money for now.

Once you've achieved what your heart is in, your heart will find a new goal.

Yeah I've checked Wallstreetplayboys.com out. I think that's what has fucked me up.

Although I care a lot about getting laid/relationships, I care far more about my actual future career and money. It's just really ideas that I need, to give me peace of mind. Right now, I haven't a clue what I'm going to do after University. I'm not sure what the likelihood of me getting an investment banking job even is with my current qualifications.

And then you get people like Victor Pride saying that any Job is essentially slavery.

Makes it difficult to know what to think.

My personal plan is to get a stream of decent passive income going. Not necessarily on the level of a full-time income, but enough to support me (pay rent, gym, food, social life...) while I'm still in university and enjoying that life.

Obviously I don't have that much life experience, but the way I see it, definitely don't focus only on money while you have your youth. Focus on freedom.

Youth is the most important thing you have. Money will always be there to be made, but to get high quality girls you need your youth man.

Bro, a full time income is pretty much only going to pay for those things alone. Aim big, but create small steps along the way

I'm not really wanting money just for girls.

And from my experience, it's the older guys (30+) that are getting the top quality girls. Plus, I don't want to 'free' while I'm young, then have to work my ass off when I'm older just to make enough money to get by.
