Shaun Nestor, Content Marketing Advisor & Agency Consultant answered:

Education & Investment.

Try a lot of different activities, since you haven't nailed down your passion, yet. By the way, I have articles here about identifying your passion:

Secondly, Invest. Start saving now and leverage compound interest. I wish I had saved more when I was younger, but, at the time, "Retirement" was so far off, I didn't care.

I'm still far off from retirement, but I wish I had gotten that head start. Time is a resource you cannot buy, especially in the world of compound interest.
