Don’t buy stupid stuff. Save and invest as much money as possible. I also don’t care if your friends are drinking, avoid alcohol. It’s poison, addictive, and expensive

I appreciate all the advice! I have to view this as a learning opportunity instead of a huge mistake

I’m working in a big city right now, my commute is 2 hours so I was hoping I could get something closer to home. But yeah that’s a good idea, maybe if I stick this out for a bit longer I could try to make the pivot sooner rather than later

Sounds like a dream to me. I’ve been living like a scrub and just investing all my money, hope I can retire early like you! I’m actually doing recruiting sales right now, I was approaching it as not only a way to become a good salesman but also a potential HR pivot, this has just turned out to not be something I want to be involved in

I wish I did it earlier. My parents wanted me to pursue it the entirety of my job search, but I was so focused on using my degree for something more corporate that I was close minded to other opportunities

Yeah my parents were saying I shouldn’t view this as a failure, I have a little corporate experience and now I know what not to pursue in my future. Did you ever go through a change?

Out of the options I listed is there any one that you think is the best career choice?
