Academic Career: University

My lifelong goal as far as academia goes is to someday be a full university professor in my field of study.
God willing, I will complete my masters in the year 2001. I hope to join a Ph.D program either directly following graduation, or after working in the professional market for a couple of years.
My primary research principle is to engage in a research effort that would somehow benefit the educational, or moral growth of people, rather than simply contribute to economic or technological efficiency. The challenge is to locate such research ideas.
Depaul, Northwestern Universities, and the University of Illinois are amongst the universities I would like to pursue my Ph.D at.

Professional Career: Software Engineering

I am currently employed with Arthur Andersen in downtown Chicago. Andersen is a prestigious worldwide professional services firm. I work in the technology solutions branch.
I hope to remain with this company, which I happen to like, and to hopefully grow gradually within it.
Additionally, at some point, I hope to be someway involved in the production of educational software, combining a delicious multimedia experience with invaluable information in history, geography, religion, literature, languages, or children's material.
