When and How I chose my long term career choice...
Inspiration from all my role models which drove me towards entrepreneurship.
One of the silliest things we do about career is...
1) Not deciding on long term career goal.
2) Not saying NO to first job, if it is not relevant to your long term goals.
3) Getting dragged into what we get as a first or second job.
The best piece of advice I have ever received...
Dream BIG!
The Jobs in 2050...
Will require more and more human soft skills (Creativity & Innovation, People management, Decision making, Critical thinking, Communication Skills, Complex Problem solving etc) as most of the work machines will do.
The movie, TV show or book I would recommend you to read/watch...
Watch all celebrity interviews you come across, Read autobiographies in early life for motivation, read each and everything related to your passion and most importantly read people, whoever you meet, inside out.
One thing I wish I had when I chose my career...
A mentor at early stage in my work-life, at least 3-4 years in to first job, would have done wonders.
My career advice to you...
Dream BIG! Nothing is Impossible. Decide early. Find a mentor or at least friends who can help you.
