Competition is fierce. Pick your path as soon as possible. If you are academically inclined, pick a degree with a good market value.
Pick a renowned school. The tuition prices are insane but the school is known for club activities, guaranteed internships abroad, a good network, companies fair, you will be golden. Get to know other rich people as soon as possible.
Not into academia? No problem. Just skate by strategically, it will okay somehow, it’s a piece of paper but it will make parents happy. No one needs a degree anymore unless you are defending people at court or saving their lives. The internet is your school. Pick your skill and how you want to work. Are you a lone wolf or a team player? You can join a reputed company, or even better start one!
Up your social media game as soon as possible. Guess what? It’s part of the deal now. Show me your digital presence and I will tell you who you are. If you are of interest to me. The race is on from the moment you are financially independent. Well, not for long if you following the conventional “social” format. Get a car. Buy a House. Splurge on a big wedding. Have 2 children, one of each.
The pressure is on especially if you are a woman. The infamous biological clock is looming over your head. Choices and decisions need to be strategic in what society deems to be the most defining decade.
