Bim Bim The key to success has traditionally been fairly similar for most people. You get a job, and then you apply for a job. If you are lucky, a good company hires you, and you get a good salary and benefits. After working for a while, you get a promotion, and you usually also get a raise. If you are good at your job, you climb the corporate ladder. However, these days many people do not follow the traditional career path. Many young people are choosing to be entrepreneurs and start their own businesses. Most do this after college, but some don’t graduate or don’t go to college at all. There are many different ways to have a successful career.
