A lot of that depends on your life. How much time you have, how much you can pay for their care, etc. If you want to get a dog, cat, chinchilla or something else with a lifespan of 10 or more years you should take a look at where you'll be then. College, a new job, nothing life changing planned? Pets are diverse by how much time you need to devote, different needs, price ranges, lifespan. So really it will need to be narrowed down a bit.
