Hey 22 year old, Give the most you possibly can to your 401k and keep it 100% invested in a total stock market fund or S&P 500 fund and don’t touch it for several decades. The time to start saving and investing is now.

Hey 22 year old, As you start to make Real Career Decisions, you're going to get a lot of advice, some asked-for, some not. Listen and stay humble, but also evaluate whether the people giving you that advice are happy with their own careers--especially family.

Hey 22 year old, When you are a fresh graduate, don't work from home and don't work for a startup. Find a bigger company that does social events where you can work in the office and do hybrid work. The social life aspect is important for graduates.

Hey 22 year old, Invest in yourself and your future. Go to graduate school or build something new. Industry is for people who trade their youth for a paycheck. There's no long term growth for jobs that will be automated: finance, engineers, radiologists, etc.

Hey 22 year old, Don't let fear rule your life or your decisions. Be yourself, no matter what that looks like! Don't worry about what other people think - if they don't love you "as is" they are not worth the concern. Don't be afraid to look stupid, ask questions!
