Question 1st Job

Hello people, i don't know how to explain and put into words upon creating this post to voice out my trouble, but I hope you understand what I am trying to convey my message.

To put it in a nutshell, do you think that being in your 1st Job is crucial to your future employment in terms of industry and job title etc?

To some extent yes that's why alot of people spend considerable time and effort to make sure they start their career in the right job.

However, don't be too idealistic. In the end, you need a job and income to put food on the table. Better to start then not start at all.

There is a point of time where you just need to settle with the best you have and move on with it. As they say, just live your life.

Your first job is important. That is why you should have gone for all types of attachments possible when you are in school. The opportunity cost is lower in terms of time and money spent finding the right fit.
