I was 12 so if I could look back I would wish I would have known how fast life sneaks up on you and enjoy it while you can before you are in the "real world".

What career advice would you give to new college grads or other jobseekers seeking their first career gig?

Don't waste your time trying to like a job. If you don't like it, find something you are good at and enjoy being a part of, and then focus on growing your career.
