So currently I'm a 20something male who's about to going to grad school (for accounting) and I been thinking/moping a lot about long term plans. I come to the conclusion that I can do 1 of 2 things:
1). attempt to fulfill social expectations, though probably failing them. Most likely being miserable most of the time.
or.
2). saving as much money as possible as soon as possible as hope that technology for rejuvenation (they type in which they revert the body to that of a young healthy adult) will reach at least the experimental stages by the ~2070s. Then basically throw the dice at a sort of second chance at life and hope that the social mores of that time period is less restrictive then now.
So I have a couple of questions:
1). do you guys think such technology will be available by then?
and
2). Should I plan for that kind of thing?
As far as I can see the main problem is that if I pick option 2 and for whatever reason it didn't happen (no tech, or too expensive) I then will have wasted most of my life. But I also really don't want to go the traditional path of life either.
Thanks everyone in advance.
