Honestly, you have plenty of time for a career. Almost every old person you meet will tell you to live your life while you’re young. My fiancé and I were ski bums and travelers through most of our 20’s. We are “behind” now, most of our friends have houses and kids (we are currently in our mid 30’s). However, we’ve had experiences that you just can’t have when you’re older. Youth hostels and college bars become a bit uncomfortable as you get older. Hangovers get worse with age. You lose the energy later to party til 6 in the morning and trust me, you want to know that you’ve “been there done that” rather than always wonder if you would have liked it. Play sports too. Team sports. It will be a way to meet people (outside of work) if you ever find yourself moving for a job. Sports also get harder as you age. You end up with more injuries and take longer to heal. Easier to learn when you’re young and made of rubber. Finally, don’t get caught up in financials if you are thinking about a family. Do that while you’re still young (maybe mid to late 20s?). It becomes harder and harder to have kids as you get older. If you’re introverted like I am, you’ll be happy that you forced yourself to get out of your comfort zone. I’m not saying don’t code. I’m just saying strike a balance that works for you. That job title may not be as gratifying as you think.
