The thing that I found the most resonating is that don’t do anything that you don’t like but will “Look good on your CV.” I had the exact same experience when I was in high school. My mother wanted me to get into good universities, and she thought that computer science combined with economics suits me as a direction to apply. To make my experiences look better, she got me into an internship (more like a training program) in that direction, and every hour of it was torture to me. It was after that I promised myself that I would never do something I don’t like just to make my resume look better.
