1) Keep your overhead low. It'll keep your options open and your stress levels low. Do you ever want to go to Europe? Then don't buy a fucking car. Don't take out student loans for a piece of shit liberal arts degree from a state school. Don't ever use a credit card for anything ever- 17% interest on fucking Old Navy and take-out pizza. Dumb fuck. Lack of debt equals freedom- remember that.
"Don't listen to him. You can have anything you want, whenever you want."2) Everything sucks. Not in a whiny, teenage shoegazer way, but it just does. You are going to get a job in order to eat and generally survive and it will most likely suck. You will most likely have several of these soul-sucking scat-fests known as entry-level positions. You will wonder how people work until they're 65 without blowing their brains out. It's because they have to. So do you. This is wildly unfair- it will drive you to depression and a useless search for another way out,like a unbalanced dog fighting the Dog Whisperer. Eventually you will become calm and submissive.
"Workers need exercise discipline, and affection. Or the threat of starvation"3) Don't be a pussy. If you want to go to NYC to work on a film, just fucking do it. If you want to take a train through Europe, just fucking do it. Live like a bum, work your ass off and save money. If you try to conventional route to be 'safe' it won't work. You'll end up just as broke and behind as your more adventurous buddies, but without the interesting stories or memories. You will be a slave to someone else for most of your life, so have an extended period where you live for yourself. The career track will always be there. Always. Don't let the siren song of security suck you in.
