The biggest piece of advice you can give anyone regarding careers is, “Go into something you are good at.” Don’t recommend being x or y because you are passionate, passion will fade. Don’t recommend being x or y because it is a good stable job, the tedium could well destroy that person’s spirit. But if you are good at something you will be successful at it, and that success will bring you happiness and fulfillment. Always, the answer to this question is “Go into something you are good at.” (Knowing what you’re good at can be a problem though…)
