If you were in your early twenties and could do it all again what direction would you go? What do you wish you had done earlier? What advice do you wish you had gotten? What would you tell your younger self?

    Network and get involved in as much as possible.

    You aren’t expected to find your passion or career right out of Highschool or college. Very few will end up in the career they chose.

    You can lessen that time by taking as many risks as you can as often as possible.

    Meet new people in varied fields. Ask questions, ask to get involved.

    What does that look like? Networking events at school or your current job. Friends functions or work functions. They would always love to have a chum tag along.

    Search out your interests online, follow through with some classes or training. Most are free online to some degree.

    Just general exposure to as much as you can stand. Something will click. Someone will take to you, offer you an opportunity. You may create an entirely new space from ideas of having such varied experiences.

    Easier said than done. But if attempted? Geez.
