  • Here’s a secret I wish someone had told me:

    Start a company. It’s really not that hard, and even if you fail, you will be seen as more valuable than you were before you started the company.

    1. Come up with a good idea. There are a million of them.

    2. Read books on startups.

    3. Learn to pitch investors. Investors actually want ideas from young people because they know that sometimes they have a better idea of the zeitgeist. They also will help you because they were once young and want to pass on the help. Really.

    4. Build your company.

    Again, you may fail, but even if you do you will now be the CEO/founder of a company, which is worth way more than an average grad. You will learn a ton in the process and make a lot of useful connections.

    Seriously - best career advice out there.
