When I grow up I would like to become...

I was thinking about this as a kid and to this day I am still not sure.
I am not sure what I would like to become but there are few things I would like to achieve in the coming years.
First and foremost,this summer when I graduate, I would like to find a job in a investment bank or some other respectable financial institution.
I would like to start making over $100, 000 per year in the next 5 years.
I would like to visit all seven continents in the next 10 years.
So my plan of action for landing a job offer is in phase 2 right now. Phase 1 was applying through Baruch's Starr Search web-site. Since nothing came out of that my next step is posting my resume on different job-search websites and also contacting my friends that already work for wall-street companies for advice as well as employee referrals which could help me get interviews with companies. If this doesn't work and I see that there are no offers coming my way I will start applying for internships since that is one of the ways of securing a job once the internship is over.
My goal #2 is closely realted to goal#1 since working in finance industry will enable me to either make such money through salary, investing or both.
As for the third goal, it is also related to my first goal in a sense that I plan on taking my family everywhere I go and I am sure it will be expensive so without making decent ammount of money it won't be feasible.
