I really didn't expect to turn this into a series. But here we are. The shutdown of Wargaming Seattle, and posts from my friends and former coworkers who were directly effected by said shutdown, put me in an advice giving mode this week.
In all seriousness though, the best thing you can do for your future prospects is get out of debt. Learn to negotiate properly is a close second, but getting out of debt, and staying out of debt, is absolutely critical.
It may mean not driving the newest car, having the latest games, or taking the bus instead of an Uber. But when you can tell a bad job offer "No thanks" and walk away, it's worth every packed PB&J lunch you ate instead of going out to eat, every skipped movie premier, and every extra mile in that old car.
