I'm 35, but I had a junior SA approach me looking for tasks (though he is not even on my team) and I had nothing for him. So he asked if I had any advice for a 23 year old and all I could think to tell him was "Floss every day".

Any of you guys got good advice for a young person just starting out in life?

Get in the habit of eating right and working out NOW, it only gets harder as you age.
Start saving for retirement now, even if it's only 20 bucks a month. Learn to love compounding interest.
Never trust a fart.
Pets are a luxury not a necessity.
You better be figuring out how AI works. Learn everything you can about things like chatGPT to improve your work and your processes, In 10 years you're going to be left so far behind it's going to be scary.
