Hi,

I'm an engineer in its late 30s and I sometime go to high-school talking about my job, my scholar background, etc... I remember being very stressed about my future at that time, so I try to tell them what I wish someone had told me 20 years ago.

If any teens are reading this (or people in contact with teens), what topics or advice would you want to hear from some random dude like me ?

Thanks for your help

ps: I know most of lemmy users are middle age, but there is no way I create account on shitktok, Insta or stuff.

Great advice, Borokov. I, too, was more motivated by personal satisfaction than money, and consequently was there for all the great moments of my son's life. We are still best friends to this day. There is still nobody that I would rather have an endless conversation with.

We weren't rich, we often went without, but I wouldn't change a thing.
