There are many things I’ve learned in college that I
wish I knew in high school. One of the most important things
I’ve learned in college that I wish I knew is high
school is that the people you want career advice from are
the people who have the jobs you want and who love their
jobs.
In high school, students usually just ask other
people’s advice on what others think would be a good
job for them in the future. I have found that people who do
what you want to or might want to do in the future have far
greater insight than other people.
Another advantage to speaking with someone already in the
field you want to study in is you get to see if your
personalities click. If you get along with they type of
personality of someone doing the job you want will be a
great indication of whether or not you will get along with
others in the business and whether or not you have the
personality to be successful n that industry.
Why is this lesson important at all? Because having a job
you love is important. It is important for your sanity and
its just easier to do a good job if you are doing something
you love.
