Do Stuff Right in Front of You

Instead of “picking a career,” just start doing projects.

– Design a logo for a business.

Blog every day for 30 days.

– Do photography at an event for free and give the photo album to the organizers.

– Pitch a company, even if you’re “not qualified,” learn on the job, and then document your learning.

Over time, you’ll build a body of work. That you can call that your “career.”
