"Realize that a 9am to 5pm job will get you nowhere." "Society has embedded in us, brainwashed us, into thinking this idea that we must go to a good college, find a job, try to do the best we can to build our reputation, and stick with that company for the long run. This has proven to work for prior generations, but with such a volatile market and increased competition due to globalization, we have to change our approach. The 9 to 5 job with benefits and ‘retirement’ is no longer going to cut it. If we stick to that plan, many of us may never make it to see our retirement and layoffs in the market are so common that it is almost impossible to stay at job for longer than 15 years. On top of that, you will have to work for the rest of your life at the rate employment is going. We have to start thinking out of the box and look for a future in entrepreneurship. Why not start your own company and be your own boss?" We are all indoctrinated to think that school is the only path for our dreams.
