Your nephew is a freshman in high school. You ask what his plans are for the future. He states that he will be going to Yale where he will declare pre-med. He will subsequently attend Harvard Medical School and train to be a cardiovascular surgeon. After medical school he will get married and have three children, two boys and a girl, and he will become head of the cardiovascular surgery department at the local hospital.
