Study: Many Teens Overconfident, Have 'Wildly' Unrealistic Expectations

<p>I want to go to a respected university and major in political science… and I’m talking top 60 or 70 universities, not Harvard or anything. After that I want to go to law school, hopefully of an equal or better caliber than the college I go to. I want to get a good job and advance my career the best I can, and be wise about handling my money. Finally, I want to get into politics some time… maybe state level representative or something… </p>

<p>I don’t consider that to be a “wildly unrealistic expectation.”
Not to mention, what’s wrong with having big dreams? People with big imaginations and high goals are the people who drive humanity forward.</p>
