Here's advice from someone older, at probably the same pivotal point in life: only listen to those that say yes, go for it, those that have done. Then form your opinion, which you will do anyway. Being contrarian, negative, saying it's impossible, telling you to stay in your lane is the default for most people, especially on the internet, especially if they feel smarter than average, as you might find on a forum such as this. My thesis: all negative advice has negative value and can be discarded with extreme prejudice. There is no exception to this rule. Listen to those that have done, those you feel have something to teach, and put your personal spin to their advice when incorporating it in your own growth. Good luck!
