There is some good advice in this thread.
One life lesson I would comment on is, "Follow the Money." (To a certain extent of course) To follow the money you need to be flexible with your plans and not afraid of what others think.
There have been a couple times when I walked away from a potential opportunity because I was afraid about what others might think of me doing that career. In hindsight, it was a mistake.
It seems like a lot of people are afraid to relocate to a new state because they think it is a boring state. They stay in their same area where there is no opportunity and complain for years about it.
Another thing is to always measure the return on investment of the education. A nursing or physical training degree has a great return on investment. Other degrees have a pretty sketchy return on investment.
