Turning 30 is one of life’s major milestones. It’s something that many adults look forward to as it comes with new life experiences. However, there are a number of things to tick off your bucket list before turning the big 3-0.
- Work For Someone You Admire
By now, you most likely have a list of people who you look up to in your line of work. Though finding employment is tough as it is, make it a goal to work for one of the people who inspire you. It might even be an unpaid internship. However, the knowledge you will gain will give you the skills you need to achieve your dreams.
- Be A Mentor/Volunteer
By the time you are turning 30, you should have at least one mentee under your wing. The youth are lacking mentors which is why many of them have no clear direction in life. Being a mentor or a volunteer not only helps curb this problem but it also gives you a set of skills that you will need in your 30s. You can do this on your own or you can join organizations like Rotary!
- Move Out From Home
I admire people who move out when they turn 18. That is a different level of bravery most people struggle with even in their 20’s. Living alone builds character. If you are looking for more independence then moving out of home will help you become more independent and be able to make decisions on your own.
