Worst investment ever
Sourabh’s worst investment ever was studying engineering, not out of choice, but because it’s what society expected of him. Sourabh started college during the 2007/08 recession. When he finished college in 2011, there were no jobs.
Sourabh believes he should have invested the four years of college in a much better way of knowing himself.
Lessons learned
- Take a pause, shut out all influence, think about what is best for you and jot down whatever comes to mind.
- If you go to college, go for your happiness, not to show people that you went to an Ivy League college.
- Make yourself a priority in your 20s. Build yourself, your joy, your learning, your career, and your growth, irrespective of what somebody else is doing.
Andrew’s takeaways
