What’s the worst advice you’ve received in your life?
My careers advisor in high school.
When I said “I think I want to do something with computers” she said “have you heard of Microsoft?”
Then she wrote Microsoft on a piece of paper and slid it across the table and that was my careers interview over.
Still better than the career counselor who told me not to go into IT because “women are sexually harassed there” and said to pick a “woman friendly” career.
Said career counselor was a woman with feminist leanings.
