  • Do what it takes to pass your classes in university, but prioritize finding an internship or entry level job for your career. No one cares about your GPA, but all entry level jobs want experience.

    To avoid the chicken-and-egg problem of graduating and never getting a job because they want experience, and you can’t get the experience unless they give you a job, get an entry level job in college and try to get extra responsibilities in that job for your resume.




  • Obviously, making more than minimum wage is ideal in life. As long as you’re doing that, your career choice doesn’t have to be something you love more than free Saturdays.

    The biggest thing for that to become true is to learn how to save and limit spending. If you make 200k and spend 195k on luxury car leases and other crap, you’re doing the same as a person who makes 45k and spends 40k. Yes the person “making more” has those things, but they’re just as beholden to their job as the 2nd person, and stuff doesn’t make you happy in the end.

    On Reddit, I’d normally point ppl to /r/financialindependence but here there is !fire@lemmy.ml which isn’t as active.
