If I could start my professional career over, I would prioritize broadening my education, diversifying experiences, building a strong network, developing soft skills and embracing continuous learning and strategic planning. I would make these changes to build a more adaptable, well-rounded, and resilient career foundation, enabling me to navigate opportunities and challenges better, foster meaningful relationships and achieve long-term professional and personal growth. My dream job would be one where I could use my creative thinking to comprehend, create and share knowledge. It would entail interacting with a range of viewpoints, resolving challenging issues, and promoting the development of others. It would be ideal if the position allowed for on going learning, significant influence and the integration of creative and analytical thinking. consultant

34 Woman It’s a tough one because on one hand, my decision to start teaching after receiving my BFA in Fiction led to very important and meaningful events in my life. However, it delayed what I really wanted to pursue, writing or something creative-adjacent. I’m now in publishing end editing, and I’ve realized over the past few years I have a better eye for finding the hook of a story and how to improving it over writing. So I would have pursued that track instead of wandering around a bit and wasting time. I also would have documented and kept track of my on-camera and off-camera interviews — due to my past shyness, I didn’t promote that. Now it feels odd to backtrack, but that experience is really important and visibility in this industry is even more important. I think being honest about who you are and what your core strengths are is super important. It leads to happiness, increased financial success, and comfortability. I think the decisions I made in my early career was what I thought I should be doing — and I wasn’t listening to myself or observing myself closely enough to know what I was truly good at. I also would have admitted much sooner that I prioritize lifestyle comforts more than I realize. That would have changed my trajectory as well and would have made my road less difficult.
29 Woman Honestly, I would go back and change my major in college. I would do more research and be more strategic with what I put my time into. Basically should have thought more about my long term future rather than short term in the moment. So that i can live a happier and more fulfilled life. Also, changing careers and jobs earlier in life is easier than later on when you have more real life responsibilities.
25 Woman I would apply for jobs in a different area of my state because there are more opportunities outside of where I currently live. I graduated during the height of COVID in 2021 and felt that I was not ready to pursue high-paying careers due to the state of the world at that time.
45 Woman I would choose a different degree , and move out of state Because I do not enjoy what I do. I wanted to do something else, and was talking into my degree
30 Man I would definitely not start in investment banking. I would try to go straight into software. Because investment banking was soul crushing and depressing.
33 Man I would follow my passions with more consistency and persistence. I wouldn’t have wasted so many years of my life. I would have had a clear purpose at an earlier age.
38 Woman I love my job but the pay does not give me the lifestyle or freedom that I want. I would choose a job that has the pay scale that i want more than if I loved it or not. I think having a higher paying job that I was okay with would make me happier than having a job that I love but I can barely afford to live on
51 Woman During my University years, I could not decide on a major. I could not decide between a “dream job” vs. a practical major. I graduated with a degree I was not certain what to do with. If I could do it all again, I’d have double majored in something I loved and in something practical. I’d have started working sooner, and engaged in extracurriculars in a more focused way. I have a stable job in excellent conditions in a good company, but I am not making a lot of money, have little chance at promotion, and I have not a lot of spare time to do the hobbies that I enjoy, so it is a struggle to find a sense of accomplishment. Also, I have discovered too late in life career paths I would have really liked if I knew about them back in the day.
51 Woman I became a teacher because both of my parents were in education. My dad was an administrator and my mom was a teacher. It seemed like a good job for someone who wanted to have a family, and I did. It was never my passion and I always felt like somewhat of an imposter. When I was getting my second undergraduate degree, I worked in a library and loved it. If I had thought about it at the time, I would have switched my career to library science. After being a teacher and taking time off to raise my children, I got a part time job in the library and I absolutely LOVE it. I am currently too old to go back and get my master’s degree which Library science requires. I believe I would have had a much more satisfying career
48 Woman I would be bolder about applying for opportunities that I used to feel were out of my reach, and I would be better about networking. Because holding back and having less confidence has hampered my ability to get decent jobs.
40 Woman I would ask for advice and try to network much, much more. When I was younger I thought of networking as “cheating” which now seems ridiculous. I believe I missed out on many, many potential opportunities because I thought that my skills and ability alone would be enough. This is simply not the case, and has been a painful lesson.
49 Woman Go into medical research or pharmacy I find those more interesting and more in line with the financial needs of my familly.
30 Woman I think I enjoyed my job even though it didn’t make money. Now, I really resent my job because I didn’t make enough money. I needed to prioritize wealth a bit more over enjoyment at work.
53 Man I might get into my current job 10 years earlier. I think I will have about 25 years total in my current career, but 35 would be better.
37 Woman do not listen to my mother about what career i should work towards i would’ve found my job faster and i think i would’ve been a lot more successful without her meddling.
52 Woman I would focus more on what fulfills me instead of focusing on what makes the most money or what looks good on paper I feel like at this point in my life, I am regretting not having leveled up my game when I was much younger
