text: Getting advice from multiple people is better than getting advice from one person is better because you are more likely to get good advice. When a friend of my dad turned 18 he asked his parents, friends, and older brother who all agreed it would be good for him to get a job and after a couple months he got a promotion. My dad's friend ended up making a good amount of money and has been the manager of that place for 12 years. If multiple people say the same thing when you ask them for advice it is very likely to be good advice you should follow.
