text: When asking for advice, it is best to find somebody who has been in a similar situation. Everyone goes through different things, and some people may have no experience in the subject matter. This often results in poor advice that is based off of a guess than an actual opinion. For example, when asking somebody for advice regarding a certain job, it is best to ask somebody who has experience with said job. Asking a pizza delivery guy on advice if someone should go to police academy, is not smart because the pizza delivery guy has no knowledge of what is being asked.
