We all know that in web design or development there are so many many lanes you can go down , and in the time of your career you might even change up from a web developer to somebody doing online marketing to making mobile apps. Its ll a little daunting when you look at it all. I am not in the position where im studying my third language, but i knid of wonder where am i going with this now. I dont have any clear directive. So my question is what are you as a web or graphic designer planning career wise , perhaps we can get some insih from older more experienced users to tell us about some of the paths we are choosing
Web and graphic design
Heh...my plan is to retire in around 5 years. 
I got where I am today (a software engineer at mid-sized dot.com) through very little planning and many lucky circumstances (wrapped around a few not so lucky ones).
I think my experiences basically resolve to this advice: be flexible, learn a variety of things, and keep your eyes open for opportunities you may not have ever considered.
