Proceed with Caution

Choices you make on getting into a career can be hard. This is a list you can use to help you avoid those mistakes and what i think about them.
1. Saying "I can't"
This is a big problem for some people. They might not believe in themselves because of what people say to them or they have tried something and failed at it. This is not a good way in starting your life you have to have confidence in yourself and believe regardless of what everyone else says. Once you stop saying "I Can't" then the rest should be easier.
2. Getting dollar signs in your eyes
Some of us are money driven and work just to reach that paycheck. I think that if you chose something that you enjoy doing even if it doesn't pay a huge amount of money then you will be happy. Just as long as you last and can pay for the things that are needed. If you chose to do something you don't like and you get a lot of money, you will get tired and bored of it that you would want to quit.
3. Doing what your parents expect-or what you think they expect
If you are doing what your parents expect then you are doing what they love and not what you love. It's like #2 not doing what you love and end up leaving that job. You know what you like and what you are capable of doing. Tell your parents that you respect their opinions on a career for you but you know yourself and know what you want to do.
4. Assuming a job won't be useful in building experience
When you are young but old enough to work then you should take that opportunity. The skills that you learn you can take it and apply to other jobs. There is a lot that jobs have in common that don't involve doing the same thing. Like showing up to work on time and working hard to get the job done.
5. Doing it alone
Remember that you don't have to do this by yourself and that you have so many people around that will be more than glad to help you. Some examples would be your parents, older brothers, sisters, cousins, teachers, coaches, and friends. If you are having trouble then you should ask someone you can trust and depend on for advice.
