Houston to LA like I'm Robert Horry.
Look, these bytches ain't going nowhere despite what your feelings, friends and dikk tells you.

Learn as much HTML, CSS, Objective-C and X-code as your brain can handle. You will eat like a fukking king forever. And it don't hurt to have some knowledge of Photoshop/InDesign/Illustrator (the holy trinity)

Keep your ass in the gym to avoid :flabbynsick:ness. Learn to use a firearm the right way. Don't trust NONE of these bytches of they don't share your DNA (some of your homeboys is bytches too).

If your don't have it already, get your passport and get that shyt stamped, even if you don't have much $$ to travel when you do travel.

I need to get on the HTML and CSS tip to boost my resume. Recently got a degree in Economics but I can't get a call back in these streets. Unless it's some shytty sales job :sadbron:

HTML and CSS go hand in hand and these days it is insanely easy to learn both because of how many of these programs (like Dreamweaver) are with "guiding" you along the way so you don't make mistakes

Where evr u want to be, breh.

Srly, comparing your life to others will make u miserable.

I'm 25 & do that, sometimes. And I'm anxious and frustrated, a lot.

A bad break or two, plus plenty bad decisions got me off the path of a normal mid 20s cat.

But, I'll b aight. Do you.


That's the same as me breh, I try not to but I always feel like I'm moving to slow or not on the same level as other pal when I should be... what type of bad decisions did u make

Emotional ones.

I'd have to give you all my business. But, a normal person would understand my bad decisions. I was in a tough place (family beef, following a family tragedy) already during a tough, regular period, for anyone (right after college graduation).

It's tough to explain. But, the main thing; I'll never be able to go back to 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 or even early 2014. I've made progress, but, it's frustratingly slow.

But, because none of us can see the future, who knows what's coming for me to propel me forward. But, that's the thing; if I'm sulking about the past, I'd never have my head up high enough to see that opportunity--pay attention, brehs.

This is your time to go hard. But don't go too hard. Stay out of jail if possible.

If you do ever find yourself in cuffs just STFU!

Pay all legal fees upfront. Don't go for that payment plan BS.

You'll never be in your early 20s again. Enjoy yourself. Learn, network, and explore. If you can network with papered up kids from overseas do that.

Take advice from a failed entrepreneur brehs

When it comes to money in your 20s. That saving sh!t is for the birds. The returns on saving is so low that you want to focus on earning/investing. Cash flow.

Learn how to turn the money that's in front of you (credit, loans, scholarships, grants, etc) into passive income. There's a lot of relatively easy money to be made selling plastic nonsense on the internet. If I could go back in time I would have started back in college. Starting after college is tough because the stakes get higher. Plus, being in college you have a great microcosm market to play around in. Everyone around you has money to blow.

Coding is cool to know as a basis for communicating ideas. Being a code monkey is cool but the ability to code without having any of your own ideas is a quick way to find yourself in an unfulfilling corner that I'm finding a lot of my Comp Sci friends languishing in. Not everyone that can do C# is kicking their feet up working at the Google Campus, going for weekend bike rides through wine country.

Don't fall into the car trap. People out here are starving paying a car note just to push a mediocre whip. If you need a car buy a sensible, "invisible" used car with cash upfront. I recommend a Japanese or a Korean ride. They last long with low maintenance fees.

Oh, and don't be afraid of failure. Instead, fail fast, and fail forward.

OP is in a good position getting the experience and career aspirations are ongoing, never stop learning because you're not in college or university to do so. Whereas financial situations, get yourself up and running with a car/motorcycle and a place that you can live comfortably in. You always have the freedom to do whatever you want as well.
