The first job euphoria

Four years of primary school, five years of elementary school, three years of highschool and three to five years of college.

Congratulations! You managed to pass the tutorial. Now let’s get serious about the game.

Said like this, it seems that you have been under protection until now and that your mistakes would not have repercussions. It seems now that things are going to be difficult and that you will regret having wished so much that this day would come. The truth is that now you begin to build your identity before society. You begin to define yourself as a professional, showing what you are capable of. Of course things will not be like before, but life is a game. And in a game no one wants to stay in the tutorial.

Choosing where you are going to start your career is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. The doors that will open in the future will be different depending on the experience you are having. But never lose your ambition! More than what you can learn at a technical level in your area, learn the correct values. While the market needs are constantly varying, the type of people you want to work with hardly changes. I strongly advise you to see this talk by Miguel Gonçalves (big hug for you) at TEDxYouth de Braga.
