Ask HN: Nineteen Year Old Seeking Career Advice
4 by judiciously | 7 comments on Hacker News.
Hi everyone. I'm a second year in college and I'm really struggling with having a career vision for myself. I enjoy many subjects including programming, biology, physics, math, chemistry, medicine, electrical engineering (robotics) and everything in between. I could see myself pursuing any of these fields yet I realize that the US college system essentially guides you to commit to one (or two) fields and get a job. Some advice I've seriously considered is just reading and learning as much as possible then starting a company when I come across an opportunity [0]. Yet my main qualm with this strategy is lack of job security. I.e., what do I do if the startup fails? Also, is it worth it to go to graduate school or medical school? How do I decide? Thank you in advance for any advice and I'd love to clarify if I've been unclear Thank you [0]: https://ift.tt/0feiVRH
