Is Now a Good Time to Plan My Career?

When is now? When I graduate? When I earn more money? When I’m 21?

If you’re waiting for someone else to hand you a career plan or point you in the “right” direction, you need to know:

• There is no plan.
• There is no “right” direction.
• No one else can do this for you.

If you think your real life hasn’t started yet, think again

At this very moment, you are developing habits and skills that will be increasingly difficult to change as time passes. But, if you want, you can start changing them now.

The things you are and aren’t doing now are good indicators of what you will and won’t be doing in 5 years unless you take charge.

You are already the sum total of your experiences.
