People are advising about choosing a career and interests, but I think it’s a good idea to start by thinking about your relationship to the economy and capitalism and how you want to contend with it. Are you ok with working for the rest of your life? What types of work would you be able to tolerate or be able to enjoy, if any? What are your preferences and priorities with regards to how you are perceived, standard of living, family aspirations, financial security, where you will live? What advantages or disadvantages do you already have going for you? If you aren’t sure of these things about yourself, how could you find out? It’s worth trying new things to learn about the world.

This stuff is important, because there is more than what type of work you end up doing to what the shape of your life will be like.
