What you wished you knew at 21y.o
Discussion
I am always fascinated and interested to hear from people about what they wish they knew about the world of work at 21 and what, in hindsight, they would have done differently.
For me I would not have chased the highest paid jobs at the expense of learning interesting and enjoyable skills and would have trusted myself to try a few different things before it was too late.........

Work every hour you can.
Lie, cheat, steal and don't follow any rules if you can get away with it.
Never hit reply-all to an email.
Burn the candle at both ends - you can get away with it when young.
Any woman you find in your 20s can be replaced, never let one get in the way of earning or enjoying yourself.
Go contracting as soon as you have between 5 and 10 yr under your belt.

dont sell property ever, particularly if its rented out generating income and especially not to fund depreciating assets like cars
dont waste too much time in dead end jobs close to home because its an easy routine - get out into the world sooner, goto a city where there is so much more opportunity
