In today’s day and age it’s a more important than ever to be independent. For years men have been running the show, its time ladies to show that we support ourselves and don’t need anyone else. Now there’s a difference between being arrogant and independent. I am just stressing the importance of women being able to care for themselves. Ladies important to live your life the way you want to.
Being able to support yourself is huge. Make sure after college that you try your best to get a good job. The first job that you get out of college will start your career off, so it’s important to try to get a good one. Apply to a job that you would like to do but that you are also qualified for. The biggest mistake people make is applying to jobs that they would like to have but aren’t suited for.
With that being said, make sure that you take your college classes seriously, because many of these courses will prove to be relevant to the job you wish to have. Employers are impressed when you can state things that you learned from class it makes a great impression during an interview. Tying in class cases and other concepts are great to include. Independence is more than money.
Aside from a financial standpoint independence is also in attitude. That is not say that you should not ask for help, but instead try to attempt the problem solve on your own. The rewards are much greater when you are able to figure things out on your own. Although being independent is fun and rewarding, you’re always going to need your family and friends. Any independent person is backed by a great support system. Family and friends cannot possibly be replaced with anything else. No matter where you go in life both they will follow you and help guide you and make decisions that are best for you.
Another good way to maintain independence is to not compare yourself to others. Be confident in yourself and the things that you do. If you let people completely persuade you and everything you do then you will end up being someone that you won’t even recognize. It's important to maintain a sense of self. It is extremely easy to lose yourself as you get older.
