Just know that the real world can be tough but it ' s all in what you make it . People have this expectation that since they went to school for this one thing , they should be able to graduate and get their dream job in the exact field that they want . Things take time , you need to work your way up , and work hard and good things will come . You can sit in a classroom full of people hopeful to get the same job you want . Only one person will get it . What makes you better than everyone else ? If you don ' t get picked , figure out how to improve and make sure you ' re the best next time . Kids will go to college for general arts and wonder why they cant get a job . You know why ? Because theres no jobs for people with general arts degrees . You can ' t always get what you want . If you ' re really passionate and you want to make a career out of it , great , but be realistic . Is there a demand for your passion that you can get a job to pay the bills . You can become passionate about a job . Anything you do , make sure you strive to be the best at it . If you ' re sweeping floors , be the best damn floor sweeper anyone has ever seen .
