Don't stay so conservative. Go for every crazy opportunity that comes your way and work your ass off. Even if an opportunity doesn't "fit" your lifestyle or you don't think will help your "big goal" - go for it. It will lead to bigger and better things. If you fail, it's okay. No one will remember your failings when you're in your 30's, they will only remember that you had the courage to try. <br /><br />2) As for bf/gf/ friends - if they don't support you or add positivity to your life - drop them. You'd be surprised how many years you can waste with someone. Use your 20's to try things you're passionate about. <br /><br />3) To your bosses/employers - don't be so concerned about your "lack of experience." Show them you are open to doing anything and everything and are willing to learn anything and everything. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Sometimes, it's better to make a decision and apologize for it later, than to wait and wait and wait to get "approval" from your higher ups. <br /><br />4) Don't worry if you don't have life figured out by the time you're 30. Don't think you're friends who are married and have kids have it figured out either. They just have less choices.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05462364369925504765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-17669929367210555262011-06-03T22:10:49.454-04:002011-06-03T22:10:49.454-04:00I wish someone told me this too!

I've been working and taking night classes to get to grad school, and it's been YEARS, and sometimes that just feels like a total waste.<br /><br />(And I'm fully aware that grad school is a nest of vipers - the goal is not school, but the jobs/experiences it will enable.)Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00762964244520399960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-67890882289689223712011-06-02T23:14:48.362-04:002011-06-02T23:14:48.362-04:00This post really does hit the spot.This post really does hit the spot.Jibrilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392001536339272319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-56762144077626093162011-06-02T18:23:35.003-04:002011-06-02T18:23:35.003-04:00Is it just me, or is Avenue Q one of the most rele...Is it just me, or is Avenue Q one of the most relevant pieces of fiction for any person in their post-college 20s?Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02573721100651356211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-90921595098614799832011-06-02T07:29:12.304-04:002011-06-02T07:29:12.304-04:00Great column topic!

The money I saved by splitting rent and utilities allowed me to pay off my credit card and pursue hobbies I wanted to learn. This is especially true for those living in big cities like New York where a one bedroom or studio might cost half your monthly paycheck.::.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16151486432110853194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-4326871078638717372011-06-02T00:03:58.315-04:002011-06-02T00:03:58.315-04:00I have to say this is great advice.

I'm still in the post graduation depression (1 year working the same job I had while I was in school) and am definitely feeling the urge to go back - that and the student loan payments.
