5 People That Give The Worst Career Advice

🚩 DON'T TAKE CAREER ADVICE FROM THESE PEOPLE 🚩

Now, you'd think that career counselors at your college would have your best interests at heart, right? Well, according to Reddit, they're the fifth worst offenders, serving up career advice that's about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

Then we've got our teachers at number four. They're dishing out gems like "Don't question the status quo" and "Never stand up to your boss".

Then we have siblings, parents, and friends. Siblings are encouraging you to stick with a job you despise, parents are shoving you into safe but soul-sucking careers, and friends are advising you to lie on your resume.

Tread carefully.

My dad told me to just find a job that pays well because you're going to hate any job you have. He was right.

Reddit does not seem like a trustworthy source 💀💀

So according to this:

Talk back to your boss all the time and question everything
Don't follow your passions
Don't work in a job even though you hate it
Don't work in a safe/consistent career

What the fuck is left?

I've got a lot of people who are surprised over how well versed I am in literally every subject imaginable, so they always go, you should become this, or you should become that... Meanwhile, I just don't find anything intellectual interesting to do, I'm more of a take it calm kind of guy, so I work as a cleaner. Much better.

Following your passion is good though. For one, if you choose a job you love, you won work a day in you life. Secondly, you will work harder if you love the work, rather then if you hate it. Followingnyour passion gives you the best chance for success, in most cases, and will lead to a happy life if you work hard enough. Unless you want to be an actor, in which case its a roll of the dice.

I thought number one would be Reddit themselves 😂

Parents give the best advice, im not broke because they pushed me

[angeld]

Do friends give the worst advice or are they just more likely to give advice in general because you talk to them the most?

[overtremendouslyblah]

Actually, embellishing on your resume does work. Like you can say you were in charge of a project even if you were support. How would they know? Has worked for me many times.

So, i see one big issue with this data. Who are you taking life advice from, if not these people, i also feel like theres a direct correlation between amount of people in your life with those position and rhe “amount of bad advice”

Going from most to least

Friends
Family
Teachers
Siblings
Career counselors

Teachers is the only one out of place, and teachers usually arent giving career advice unless your in highschool or college; which would drop them down farther

So this is from where the worst advice can come? Or the worst groups to give you advice from? As well after going over the "bad advide" what are the good advice come from? The
