Proceed With Caution

1. Saying “I can’t”. Can’t isn’t a good word to use. You can do anything you set you mind to, if your willing to do the work. You can always try something new even after high school or during college.
2. Getting dollar signs in your eyes. When you think about how much your salary will be. You shouldn’t think too much on how you’re getting paid. Because you might come up short from the amount that you were dreaming about. Very little people earn more than $50,000 a year.
3. Doing what your parents expect or what you think they expect. Every parent wants their child to follow in there footprints. But for most young adults wants to be something else besides there parents career. They want to find a job that they like doing.
4. Assuming a job won’t be useful in building experience. Every job you work for builds your work experiences even if you don’t like what you’re doing. The more you work, the more you’ll find out what’s the good job for you. Even if you don’t like what you’re doing it teaches you to be out time, and working with your co-workers.
5. Going it along. You have a lot of people around you every day that can help guide you in any way and also help you find a right career. You can learn from a professional that has the same interest as you. They can share their details and offer tips.
