how to figure out what you're doing with your life
Transcript
Have no fucking clue what you're doing with your life, may I suggest best you the beautiful art of side questing. Listen, I get it. It seems like everybody chose their major and they chose tier job and they know exactly what they're gonna do for the next twenty years of their life. A big secret of theirs is they don't know what the fuck they're doing either. Some do, but that's a small percentage. Beauty is is that when you are young, you have so much time on your hands rank literally every single person in the world is literally ready to give you opportunity. And they already assume that you're stupid. So they don't really expect anything out of you. They just kinda have to like you and vibe with you in order to give you opportunity. I give you this advice as somebody who has a proven track record of career side questing. In the past few years, I have been a product marketing intern, and then I thought I wanted to be a software engineer. So I studied CS, and I fucking hated it. In that time, I was also a content creator. I was a fry cook. I was a waitress. Then I ended up being product management better, and then I got hired full time as a growth product manager. I went out my own business at one point, and I was making a lot of money. And this was all in the span of two years. After that, there's still a lot on my list of things I want to do. Art of side questing is just approaching life with an abundance mindset because life is just really fucking miserable when you have a scarcity mindset. No just try side worst, and the future is gonna look a lot less scary.
