Nick Huber(@sweatystartup):Bad advice that is constantly preached to young people: “Follow your passion and make money doing what you love” even if that means being underpaid and struggling financially. Good advice: “Make money chasing an opportunity now and then spend your time doing what you love later.” More folks should spend the first 10 years of their career trying to achieve some financial stability before "chasing their passion" later on. Unless you are in the .001% that hits it big early in your career chasing a passion, you should be spending your 20s building skills, a network, and savings. You will be amazed at how much time you still have to pursue other opportunities later once you have built a base.
