What are you going to do with your degree/life?

Having a degree often prompts the question, "what do you want to do with that?" I have an answer, but it usually gets a laugh.

Change the world.

Is that so preposterous? Do they think me naive? Isn't that the purpose of being here? I've never been convinced that the problems we face are problems for future generations.

Dreams aren't suppose to be easy. That doesn't make them a joke.
