re: What type of career would you recommend to an 18 year old in today's age?

If your not sure what you want to do, go to college for a year and try to figure it out (and have some fun).

If after a year or two you still don’t know and you have some BS degree path, get out and start working on a trade path. A lot of tradesman are retiring and selling their businesses in the next few years. Buy one of those businesses and scale it
