Could anyone tell me if my examples below is correct, I mean, tenses?

  1. "In fact, I've been thinking about keeping this path when I've finished business school..."

  2. "In fact, I've been thinking about keeping this path when I finish business school...."

I wanted to say : when I have finished my school => future

Thanks :-)

Example 1 could be improved like this:

"In fact, I've been thinking about staying on this path after I've finished business school..."

Example 2 could be improved like this:

"In fact, I've been thinking about staying on this path when [or after] I finish business school..."

Example 1 really needs the conjunctive adverb "after" to agree with the future time period contained in "have finished." Additionally, "keeping this path" sounds odd to my native-speaking ears, thus my suggestion for "staying on this path."
