Sometimes I think too much. Recently, I have been thinking a lot about my future. What I want to do in life. What I would love to do for my whole life? What would be my purpose in the world? Where would I be in 10 years? etc. And I think the more I think about it, the more I wonder if I am indeed heading down the path that I want to walk in: Finance. I guess I'm starting to ponder whether this Course 15 Sloan thing is really what I want to do. Working on Wall Street, earning 6 figures, living in the city--all sound like the details of a fantastic plan, but is this what I really want to do for the rest of my life? Would I get up in the morning 10 years from now and be excited to be going to work? Or would I be one of those professionals who have Monday blues and Friday sicknesses?I thought about some of the things that interest me and I came back to the original idea of wanting to be pre-law.

HYDERABAD: Khairatabad Congress MLA P. Janardhana Reddy has appealed to Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy to cancel the additional parking area allotment made to Prasads Imax theatre on the Necklace road. In a representation to the Chief Minister, Mr. Reddy said the House Committee constituted in August 2004 to look into various irregularities related to Imax construction recommended probe by an independent investigating agency into the lapses and action against those responsible.

TORONTO (CP) - Ontario's manufacturing-based economy, reeling from widespread layoffs in the forestry and industrial sectors, has been sharply downgraded to rank last in economic growth among the provinces, according to an economic outlook by Royal Bank (TSX:RY). The report released Friday said Ontario's economic woes stand in marked contrast to Alberta, whose booming oilsands economy is poised to be Canada's top performer this year with the strongest growth rate in a decade at 6.3 per cent. "Ontario's economic growth forecast has weakened and is facing further downside risks," said Craig Wright, the bank's vice-president and chief economist. "The economy isn't far from being at a standstill, despite the drop in natural gas and oil prices, which should both serve to stimulate growth." Ontario, which contributes about 40 per cent of Canada's total employment, is forecast to grow at a sluggish rate of just 1.5 per cent in 2006 and two per cent next year.
