Setting Goals for Family and Career
A. Congratulations on finishing post graduate work as well as your marriage. It's always a good idea to set and follow goals, and you're right to set them in both personal/family as well as career categories.
A quick search on the internet shows a myriad of goal setting websites, most of which offer free introductory information and a required fee for further information. There are many different techniques or methods to goal setting, but all share the common traits of being specific, writing it down, and setting a timeframe for the goal to happen. Note that goal setting usually is a part of motivational courses, so that's another avenue to explore.
Summary of Goal Setting
Here at Suite101 our resident expert on Personal Development, Jerry Lopper, offers a great explanation of many contemporary methods on goal setting: Summary of Goal Setting Activities. There's also Goal Setting Theory from the Business Section, which delves into what happens when there's a conflict – while it talks about manager and employee goal setting, it is applicable to remember as you set family goals.
The best method is the one that you actually follow or use.

Both wireless and mobile technologies are within the electronics field, so rest assured that your chosen education is definitely within a "hot" commodity for coveted jobs as well as being in your desired field.
