Don't go to college...or at least, don't get your masters. You will end up knowing more high school graduates who have a salary you couldn't even begin to come close to making with your master's degree and "professional" job.
Don't get married...at least, wait until you are 30.
Save all that money you would have spent going to college and just travel instead.
Don't go to North Dakota. Just. Don't. Ever.
Yes, you have been skinny all your life...but you should probably think about working out at some point...
I would tell the younger me to stay in college and don't drop out so I can start working and earn money. Find a career to enjoy (psychology would be ideal). Don't quit on college just because I started making good money. If I had a degree then maybe I wouldn't be in this position.
Get a degree in IT, not Sociology. Don't try and save the world focus on your own pond first. Don't be the guy smart enough to not study in HS and get B's and C's be the guy that studies and get's A's.
Listen to Mark Cuban, kind of unfair his advice didn't exist back then. Don't follow your passion follow your efforts.
I would tell my younger self to never enter the manufacturing world. It's dead end and there ain't a whole lot out there in my area. I also would have told my younger self to apply yourself in HS, get the A's you could have gotten instead of trying to be a cool dummy, then go on to college to study engineering.
Get a good government job, even if it pays less it is secure. Cut back your living standards so you can invest. And don't listen to everyone saying you should buy IBM or oil stocks. There is this little company called Apple that just had an IPO. Microsoft, a company nobody's ever heard of, is a good choice as well.
I would have told myself to major in something other than civil engineering. I honestly do not know what I should have majored in, but anything has to be better than civil engineering.
