Figure Out What You Want To Do
Find something that you aspire to become. Find a career that you can enjoy doing and become passionate in. Make sure to perform research about that career such as salary, hours, and any other important information.
Example: Google Software Engineer
Starting Salary: ~150k
Work Time: ~50hrs a week
Education Required: No college degree is required, many tech jobs look more at experience and skill. However that being said, Google only hires 1% of applicants (making it harder to get into than Harvard). So unless you know what you are doing, a college education is highly suggested.
