My advice? Don’t define yourself by your work. Your work is simply something you can do to live. You are trading your time and labor so you can do whatever it is you want to do. At your age it’s common to think you’re going to change the world. Some people get bitter when this doesn’t happen. I’ve seen this and it’s not pretty. Almost nobody changes the world. In tech you see this with people who have were the smartest in their high school, went to a great college and have basically been told their entire lives they are amazing and smart. At some point they get to a room where they’re not special and that can be a hard pill to swallow. So if you want to change the world it just do something really meaningful you have to commit to that. But why are you doing it? Will it make you happy? It is that simply something you feel like you should do rather than something you want to do? And do you really want to make that impact or do you just want the adulation that entails? Life is short. Consider yourself lucky if you have a skill that will let you live comfortably. Enjoy the ride.
