What should you do in your 20s for a better future
Have a second interview Thursday. Definitely not my first rodeo but the longer I go unemployed, the less confident I feel. That being said this company is specifically going to use the STAR interviewing Style. I've done my research on the history of the company, etc but I am finding it so difficult to memorize my answers in the STAR format, I'm going to have to use my notes. Tell me I'm not the only one struggling w/this 🙏🏻

Most in their 20s should be able to unless disabled. I guess my other advice would be to invest in life insurance with cash value.
Save, learn a trade that can’t be replaced by AI like plumbing, electrical… invest in secondary income like real estate… laundry mats, storage units…farm ground
Probably move to a country that is NOT the USA because people here are morons.
Been overseas, way worse elsewhere
Invest in your retirement now. Try to add as much as you can every year to your 401k and IRA. Do Roth options if you can. Do not go into debt.
High yield savings
Definitely invest all my beer money in mutual funds. Then pay attention in school. If I remembered even 25% of what the taught I might be further ahead.
Chose IT when I enlisted. Would be further along and employed.
