Career advice I wish I’d been given when I was young
I find this website absurd. Is it really just articles by random people which give high-level advice on how to have a career? Because if so, most likely there is little coherence between any of these pieces, meaning that people will really just listen to whichever article they agree with.<p>Also, lot of this advice in particular, sucks:<p>&quot;Reverse engineer the paths of famous people&quot; - too bad these paths often start very young due to privilege and wealth, and also have huge amounts of luck involved. The two things you can&#x27;t really control in this world: how rich your parents are,  and how lucky you are.<p>&quot;Avoid spending time to earn money&quot; - what, like compound growth isn&#x27;t a thing? I would much, much rather make $20 now than have to make $100, or $500 when I&#x27;m 60.<p>&quot;Work to solve problems that aren&#x27;t popular&quot; - his&#x2F;her advice is, work on an un-important problem because no one cares about it, so at least you&#x27;ll make big contributions. But, ummm, no one will care. This goes common advice, which is to seek leverage in your role - that is, big effects through small contributions.<p>I could go on. This is garbage and just not redeemable.
