Young people are mostly blissfully unaware of the reefs ahead that can ship wreck them. I could rattle a list of them off the top of my head, but they won't listen or care. It's funny in a way, because someone who has suffered a severe hardship midlife and managed to battle their way back has qualities that are exactly what some of these companies need.

  No spoiler alerts from me and besides, I wouldn't want to deprive you of valuable life lessons. Just remember that you'll make it through as long as you don't give up.
