On the rare occasions when I have the ear of a young person just starting out on their career, I usually tell them that their first job is to figure out who they are and what will make them happy. A lot of college students see what their classmates are doing and jump to the conclusion that it's what they should do as well.

For some people, what makes them happy really is money. But for many, it's not money or at least it's far from exclusively money.

Even for the folks for whom money will make them happy or they THINK money will make them happy, I advise them, "If you want to chase money, then chase money. But make sure you chase LONG-TERM money."
