Careers

People always give you classes on careers and "what do you want to do with your life", which focuses on careers. The courses emphasize what you want to do, but it has nothing to do with reality. If you want to be an actor or a writer or a musician, tough. Your job course may say you're perfect for it, but the world doesn't want another artist, so you do what I do and apply to whatever company that actually wants employees, regardless of what field it's in. They tell you there's a galaxy of choices, but in reality, you only get a handful, and half of them you're unqualified for.
