Someone tell me that spending my 20s grinding for promo, going to school PT for a career related grad degree, working out 4x a week and saving will be worth it when I turn 30?

Staying healthy will pay off big time. Mid 30s hit like a bag of bricks if you didn’t build in the habits to eat relatively well, use your body, and have good mental health hygiene. In the end good habits and good genes are all you have and one of those you can’t control.

On the job part, I actually think your 20s are a good time to take risks that open doors. I “wasted” my 20s in a PhD program but even though I am not an academic it opens a lot of doors (HC consulting —> pharma job). I wouldn’t sit around my parent’s house getting high but I would take risks (start your own business, move to a new city, change careers). Whatever you do, just commit to doing it well.

But don’t live like a monk. Not everything needs to be 100% all the time. Think more about small habits and then enjoy the fact that your liver still functions and that you don’t need 10 hours of sleep to feel normal.

Sure

Listen if you're doing life the way someone told you instead of following your own internal compass, it's already a bad plan. Do what's right for you and if you don't know explore your interest. Don't focus on making a paycheck or you'll miss the fun of being alive.

It’s worth it.

If you’re full-time at an agency but looking for additional work as a freelancer, do you say you’re currently working at said agency during an interview for a possible freelance gig? I’ve had an instance where they said they can’t hire someone at another agency due to a conflict of interest. I love my current gig, so going freelance FT isn’t an option. What would you do in a situation like this? Is there a workaround, as it’s typically ghostwriting anyway with zero by-lines?
