The dotcom boom. I entered the workforce in 99, and started working straight away in a shit hot digital agency.
So looking back from 20 to 26; work totally defined my life. I was so driven then. I bought my first place at 22 and worked hard to pay for it.
I basically spent my whole time at the office designing websites, Interactive TV... things. I just found the whole world of digital advertising so bloody exciting. Still do.
I was burnt out by 26. Totally. So me and my girlfriend, now wife, got up one morning and bought a ticket to south america, rented out our flat and travelled for 2 years around the the world.
So work and travel I guess.
I hope there are industries for 20 years olds to work in that are as exciting as we had 15 years ago. Your 20's should be defined by defining yourself and work is such a fundamental part of that.
good times :)
