Show HN: A newsletter for teenagers to build their dream career
Hey everyone,
I’m Simon, a 29-year-old entrepreneur recognized in Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2022 for my work on improving financial education for Gen Z. But I wasn’t always a straight-A student—far from it. I struggled in school and was a late bloomer who constantly felt left behind.
One teacher told me, “The job you’ll have as an adult probably hasn’t been invented yet.” She was right. As technology evolves at lightning speed, I can't predict the opportunities of the future, but I can teach the timeless skills, habits, and mindsets that can help you grab those opportunities.
I’ve also noticed a wave of harmful “get rich quick” ideologies aimed at teenagers. To counter that, I created dream.career—a free, weekly newsletter designed to give teens practical skills school often overlooks:
- Boost creativity & problem-solving
- Save, invest, and build financial freedom
- Find opportunities, take smart risks, and create your own luck
- Turn hobbies and passions into income
- Build gratitude, confidence, empathy, and courage
Each issue delivers simple, actionable lessons that have helped me (and others) build fulfilling, sustainable careers. No gimmicks, no toxic narratives—just real skills and mindsets that work in any era.
If you’re interested or want to share feedback, check out dream.career. I’d love to hear your thoughts or suggestions on making this more impactful for the next generation.
