A systematic study of the advice people would give to their younger selves
Advice I&#x27;d give:<p>- Discipline yourself to train your musical skill between 14 and 20. It is fine to also try to win over girls with it (I thought it was disingenuous at the time, I was wrong).<p>- If you can stick to programming, do it. Just be sure to find fun in it while sticking to it, if not it&#x27;s okay to drop it.<p>- Rush through university in 3 years (bachelor and master) in business informatics and call it a day. Do keep an active social life though and do the honours program as well. If you can&#x27;t help yourself, do an academic gap year with very varied courses after your master.<p>- For your master, you may want to consider going to another country. If you want to work in the USA, then try to see if you can get a cheapish US master that will allow you to quality for the H1B visa.<p>- During this time, learn coding on your own, enough resources available by now.<p>- If you have issues with being social, I wrote a guide. It&#x27;s attached. You&#x27;ll be fine.<p>- If you feel addicted to video games, understand it&#x27;s social contact that you&#x27;re after. So simply get more of a social life.<p>- By doing this: your life will be nothing like mine. You&#x27;ll encounter your own set of issues which shows how gritty life really is. You&#x27;ll simply have to deal with it. Also, life could be far grittier so count your blessings!
