Thread for young people looking for “career” advice, which I get asked for a lot. Maybe I’d be more successful if I had been more calculating, but the word "career" didn’t even occur to me until I was about 45. But i've had a super fulfilling work life. We are living in surreally capitalist times, where the Supreme Court says corporations are people and everywhere we look, human beings are touted as brands. But I can't bring myself to give young people advice on how to “market” themselves.
