Hi,

I’m an engineer in its late 30s and I sometime go to high-school talking about my job, my scholar background, etc… I remember being very stressed about my future at that time, so I try to tell them what I wish someone had told me 20 years ago.

If any teens are reading this (or people in contact with teens), what topics or advice would you want to hear from some random dude like me ?

Thanks for your help

ps: I know most of lemmy users are middle age, but there is no way I create account on shitktok, Insta or stuff.

    I’m 18 years old. Currently a first year in university studying Accounting and Finance. Right now, I see myself going one of two ways. Either I become a financial planner and hopefully opening up a boutique firm. Or, I want to be a high school teacher (Math, accounting, and history is what I’d want to teach)

    I feel I may enjoy teaching more, and it might be easier to get into. The financial planning would probably be more challenging, however I could probably make more money doing it, and my parents would much rather I go into this versus teaching. What can I do to help me figure out what would be the better option for me?
