but make sure they know it doesn't mean you won't have shitty jobs on the way to that career
the key is to build and learn from the shitty ones just as much as from the great ones
even if the lesson from the shitty one is to put all your energy into what you really want so that you never have to do that shitty job again
i also think we need to teach folks how to say "no" every opportunity isn't the right opportunity what seems like a good opportunity can also be a distraction
the key to happiness is not being rich; it's doing something arduous and creating something of value and then being able to reflect on the fruits of your labor
