Nate Tilley argues that your early career choice won't define your whole life. He pushes you to strip away what society told you to want, examine who you actually are, and pick your own values instead of inheriting them. Most people never do this.
What nobody tells you is what you choose to do is very rarely the thing that you're going to be doing for the rest of your life. I remember when I was going into my last year of high school and we had to decide what it is that we were going to do for the rest of our lives. Can you remember who you were before the world told you who to be before society indoctrinated you into their system telling you what to do, how to act and even what to think? The very first step is getting clear on what that dream looks like and making sure that it is something that is true to you and it isn't something that you have inherited from society. Most people go through their entire life never looking at their self image. Who is this person that I am? Where did I adopt these philosophies? What are the things that I should actually pursue and hold value to in my life which is the foundation of getting ahead of 99% of people.
