I used to think a lot of the career advice I got from older people was old hat or over the top.

But having worked for a while I found out that some of the things they warned me about were in fact very real. Stuff like burnout, office politics, toxic management, work taking over your personal life, how fast companies replace employees.

I thought that 'work hard and you'll get ahead' was a bunch of crap, but it was 100% true.

Not the most paying job or the one that looks most impressive to other people.

What is a career you think you would actually like waking up and doing every day long term and why?
