A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.


6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world


7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.


8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.

I'll be 18 in 16 days. Trying to get anytype of advise or idea what I should do. Some type of startup or anything. I did start on working on a website which just connects customers and workers together. But is there anything else I could do? Anything you have for me.

First, you have to decide who you want to be and what you want out of life. You can have anything, but not everything, if you pursue it without stopping

Don't take on debt.

Don't get into a relationship with a manipulator.

Be honest in your dealings. Don't take advantage of people or profit off suffering

Follow that, and you have 10 years to figure out everything else. 20's are for learning, 30's are for earning... Just try stuff. Pursue whatever you like, make connections with people, and you'll build a foundation that will put you far ahead later on

And if you do want to try doing a software start up, I am looking for someone to partner with who can make sales. I'm planning to go after professionals like lawyers and start by making them websites to make the connection, and taking whatever work flows from that. Hit me up if you're interested
