Experiment to Find Your Career

As 18-year olds, most of us were pressured to pick a major, that “one-career-path-forever.”

“Career,” is just an abstraction after all. What really matters is the specific work you do to create value.

Then, as you play in the sandbox, you’ll start to figure out which types of sand castles you like building most.
