Know yourself well.
It’s true that things like pay are important, but don’t let money lead you in the wrong direction. Firstly, follow your heart and your personality—if you’re not very outgoing, don’t go for a sales job, even if the pay is good. 17 If you do well in getting along with children, to be a teacher may be a fantastic choice.

Your first decision isn’t forever.
Some lucky people get it on their first try—they choose a job, find they love it and stick at it. 19 So remember you’re allowed to change your mind! There’s no need to let it worry you for years: Maybe you’ve got three or four possible things you’d like to do, so come to a decision and try one—if you don’t like it, try another one.
20 The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today. Remember to be responsible for yourself when you are young.
