After college I travelled. I realized that all I wanted to do was travel, and that affiliate marketing was a plausible way to make this happen. I aggressively looked for and pursued people to mentor me. I found a solid mentor within my group of friends, and latched onto his every word.

I'm not necessarily saying to learn Affiliate Marketing, but figure out how you want to make money, and do whatever it takes to find a mentor who will teach you. Looking on the internet is not a good way to find a mentor... most people will NOT agree to this, as they have no incentive and have nothing to gain by helping you out. Being a mentor isn't some charity service... Finding a real mentor must be done in person. Honestly I sort of lucked out in the sense that my mentor was in my close group of friends, but I approached the situation properly. I told him that I'd listen to any advice he gave and actually go through with it. I did just that, and made money. Now we work together on projects.

Summary: do whatever you have to do to find a mentor. I don't think you can succeed without one. At least I wouldn't have if I tried without one.

I think that being surrounded with people with great ambitions and with a helpful mindset its one of the most valuable gifts one Young man can have..For example my environment its middle class...but with crappy ambitions..I think that all of my colleagues with end worse and worse.They don't have expectations,they don't have ambitions to grow or learn new skills..not even travel! They don't have money and are always complaining about not getting a job and don't do nothing to look for it or learn to market themselves...

by the way: which are the best resources to learn about affiliate marketing?

3. Acquire Digital Nomad Skill Sets

Your regular work hours will be about 20-30 hours per week so you can either do tutoring and make more cash or you can invest in building location independent digital skillsets such as:

-Coding http://www.codecademy.com
-Wordpress https://www.udemy.com/building-custom-wo...m-scratch/
-Design https://www.udemy.com/courses/Design
-SEO http://moz.com/learn/seo
-Languages http://www.italki.com http://www.duolingo.com


Don't wait for your big break - you gotta make it happen.

Geoarbitrage is the way.

Also would suggest young guys to go for a trade/oil sands as opposed to a useless degree in Arts. If you're set on doing a degree to appease the family's expectations, then take petroleum engineering. Do trades for 5-10 years in the oil sands in your 20's and by the time you reach your thirties, you'd have a great career, have a solid, valuable and portable skill,be debt free and a few hundred G's if not a Mill or two in the bank. Then you can do whatever the hell you please with the rest of your life.

that's my situation man,I'm doing a degree in human resources development and I don't know how can I boost my carrer and direction with it...

do you have a website? I reember that you mentioned it in other post.

thanks mate
