Advice for a 16m

Do an internship at all costs, even an unpaid internship, particularly if it relates to your field.

I graduated with BS in computer science in 1991 with good grades but no internship into a lousy job market and couldn't get work. By the time the job market improved, they were ignoring everyone but recent graduates.

I got an MS in computer science in 2003 and did an unpaid internship in my field in summer 2001, followed by a paid internship in fall 2001 and onwards. I found work in my field.

It can be the difference between flipping burgers and making barely above minimum wage for years and having a successful career.

Do your best to avoid female students outside of class required work. Always CYA. Universities will not hesitate to throw you under the bus if a female students complains.

If you're doing a commerce degree try to take some electives in coding, web development, and data analysis/information systems. E-commerce will continue to grow and having those tools in your toolbox will serve you will.

Yeah You need to be practical, all of these "follow your dreams" bullshit is completely wrong.

Choose a field that you find interesting and practical.

Learn how to create a passive income, learn how to manage a budget, save money, develop new skills and sharpen them

Also, READ alot, of everything you find intriguing.

Think about it this way, time is the most valuable resource there is, and kids your age are dumb and wasting it with stupid shit

Surround yourself with intelligent people and get rid of the shallow and stupid people

Have a strong relationship with your family!

As for girls... I dont see a kid your age avoiding them, go ahead and have fun with them, but always keep in mind that whatever they say and whatever they mean are not the same! And, never cry in front of your girl That's all I have for now 🙂

I’m planning on going to uni and studying a commerce degree

That's ok as a start but it's a completely generic program and degree and you'll be among thousands graduating who are just like you.

I've known a number of people who went through commerce and then had to go back and get a real education in something practical.

You need to differentiate yourself somehow here.

Take a side speciality such as computer science or other STEM area. Perhaps a trade.

Make your summers or off semesters count but getting real jobs in your speciality area. Again, not just generic customer service type work in sales, say.

The main thing is not to just coast and expect getting a simple degree will automatically entitle you to a well paying job.

Start work straight away and network network network. A degree isn't worth squat without being in the field and having friends/associates. Jump around the place, learn, fail and learn again.
