It's important to remember that every interview is a two-way street. You should be interviewing the employer just as much as they're interviewing you because you both need to walk away convinced that the job would be a great fit.

So when the tables are turned and the interviewer asks, "Do you have any questions for me?" take advantage of this opportunity. It's the best way to determine if you'd be happy working for this employer, and whether your goals are aligned with theirs. 

"The very process of asking questions completely changes the dynamic of the interview and the hiring manager's perception of you," says Teri Hockett, chief executive of What's For Work?, a career site for women. "Asking questions also gives you the opportunity to discover details that you might not have otherwise unveiled."

Amy Hoover, president of TalentZoo, says there's another reason you should always prepare questions. "It's expected — and if you don't ask at least two questions, you will appear disinterested, or worse, less intelligent and engaged than a prospective employer would like." You should have at least four questions prepared, though, in case your original two are answered through the course of the interview.

But, Hoover says, don't just ask questions for the sake of it. To actually benefit from them, you'll need to think carefully about what you want to ask.

"Your questions can, in fact, make or break an interview," she explains. "If they're not thoughtful, or if you ask something that has already been addressed, this can hurt you way more than it can help. Asking smart, engaging questions is imperative."

Luckily, there are plenty of smart ones to pick from.

Here are 29 questions you should always ask in a job interview — if they weren't already answered — to help you get a better sense of the role and the company, and to leave the interview with a positive, lasting impression:

Who do you think would be the ideal candidate for this position, and how do I compare?

Hoover recommends this question because it's a quick way to figure out whether your skills align with what the company is currently looking for. If they don't match up, then you know to walk away instead of wasting time pursuing the wrong position for yourself, she says. 

Who would I be reporting to? Are those three people on the same team or on different teams? What's the pecking order?

It's important to ask about the pecking order of a company in case you have several bosses, Vicky Oliver writes in her book, "301 Smart Answers to Tough Interview Questions."

If you're going to be working for several people, you need to know "the lay of the internal land," she says, or if you're going to be over several people, then you probably want to get to know them before accepting the position.

How has this position evolved?

Basically, this question just lets you know whether this job is a dead end or a stepping-stone.

Winning the best picture Oscar at the Academy Awards doesn't just say that a movie is regarded by Hollywood as the top achievement in the medium for the year; it cements a movie with past winners that have gone on to become classics such as "The Godfather,""Lawrence of Arabia," and "On the Waterfront."

But the Academy voters don't always get it right. Tucked away in the 89 years of Oscar ceremonies are best picture winners that quickly vanish from the zeitgeist, never to be heard from again. That's often because they weren't as good as originally thought.

Here we look back on the 10 most disappointing best picture winners and choose the nominees that should have won:

SEE ALSO: RANKED: The 12 greatest movies to win the best picture Oscar

10. "Around the World in 80 Days" (1956)

Based on the Jules Verne novel, this film used all of Hollywood's resources (a $6 million budget in the 1950s was far from cheap) to create a sprawling look at the world, but the story of a super-rich English gentleman Phileas Fogg (David Niven) who attempts to win his wager to navigate the globe is silly and far from memorable. 

SHOULD HAVE WON: "The Ten Commandments"

Cecil B. DeMille's final directing effort still holds strong today. With its all-star cast, particularly the incredible performance by Charlton Heston as Moses (he didn't even get an Oscar nomination for the role), and its remarkable effects for that era, it's a movie that should have been recognized with the top prize.  

9. "Ordinary People" (1980)

The late 1970s and early 1980s were when the melodrama was at its zenith in movie theaters, and "Ordinary People" came around at the perfect time. The film didn't just win best picture — it also achieved best director for Robert Redford and best actor for Timothy Hutton. Granted, the film has explosive performances in it, but there needs to be more than great acting to win best picture.

According to a Pew survey, 90% of American adults own cell phones.

In a Cellular Telephone Industries Association report, the average monthly cell phone bill is just over $47, but according to a Time survey, 46% of Americans with mobile phones said their monthly bill was $100 or more, and 13% said their monthly bill topped $200 per month.

Additional charges, fees, and other gimmicks are to partially blame for these expensive bills. Here are some of the sneaky ways cell phone companies are making you pay more:

SEE ALSO: 13 sneaky ways cable companies get you to spend more

They offer new phones for free, or a low fee. 

The "free" phones a company might offer with a new plan are not actually free.

Tech Insider's Steve Kovach reports that when you sign a service contract and get a "free" or heavily discounted phone, you actually pay the full cost of the phone over the course of your contract through baked-in fees.

A company might raise your monthly payment to make up for the phone they are giving away, and over the course of a two-year contract, How-To Geek reports that you could end up paying over $300 more than you would by buying your own phone.

And, if you try to cancel your service, you'll still have to pay for the remaining balance on the phone. 

They offer you options to lease or finance a phone. 

Instead of charging you the cost of a new phone upfront, many cell phone companies offer you financing or leasing option.

This usually comes with a low or no fee upfront, but you're stuck with monthly payments from $5-$35 on top of your regular bill instead, depending on the make and model of the phone.

You will have to pay this fee for the number of months you choose, and can opt to upgrade, buy, or continue leasing it when the time period is up. If you choose to return the phone, you can be charged an "excess wear" fee if there are significant scratches, cracks, and other damages. 

Plus, you might see a charge on your bill under "State & Local Sales Tax — Lease Payments," which is a tax on top of your lease payment. 

Just like the "free" phone option, you will still have to complete the monthly payments if you decide to terminate your contract (and if you're leasing, you don't get to keep the phone afterward, either.) 

They charge you a restocking fee if you decide to return your phone.

If you do choose to return your cell phone after buying it, you must do so within 14 days for most carriers.

But it doesn't end there: Your carrier can charge you a restocking fee from $35-$50, depending on which company you are with. 

The Beatles' lead guitarist George Harrison would've turned 73 on February 25th.

The world can learn a lot from Harrison, who was known as the more introverted member of the fab four.

His songs, both as a Beatle and solo artist, explore how to spread compassion and find inner peace.

Here are 12 meditative quotes and lyrics from Harrison about life.

""All there is, ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it. We can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one."

"Why live in the darkness all your life? Why, if you are unhappy, if you are having a miserable time, why not just look at it? Why are you in the darkness? Look for the light. The light is within."

"When you’ve seen beyond yourself, then you may find, peace of mind is waiting there."

I have a ton of rich friends who've wanted me to write this for a long time.

A while ago, I was chatting with future billionaire Josh McAfee (founder of McAfee Institute), who told me how to build a billion-dollar company. Like many of my wealthy comrades, he couldn't stop talking about the mindset of being a multi-millionaire.

Kenneth Cole, the famous fashion designer, told me that sticking with your gut is the key to building a sustainable business. Kevin O'Leary (the Shark Tank star) showed me the value of holding only profitable relationships. Bert Jacobs, co-founder of Life is Good apparel, advised me to communicate my expectations to all my key stakeholders.

Kat Cole, the CEO of Cinnabon, told me to try everything — but only stick to what works best. Marcus Lemonis, TV star of "The Profit," showed me how using your gifts can take you anywhere. Kevin Plank, founder and CEO of Under Armour, sold me on why I should only focus on selling my best products.

I can go on with the advice I've heard from all my wealthy friends, but as a multimillionaire myself, I would like to sum up my own version of how to make it big in business:

SEE ALSO: I'm a self-made millionaire, and I'm convinced there are only 5 ways to get rich

1. Build something bigger than yourself

Most people want success for themselves, not other people. They want to win all the awards, be on the magazines, and earn millions of dollars. Having all of this is fine, but you must select a cause that is bigger than yourself. You need to understand that your purpose is greater than you. This will attract more success, instead of repel it.

A selfless leader will focus on growing others, which in turn will grow themselves. As a hobby, I exercise often by jogging and lifting weights. I find that when I help others exercise, I become stronger and faster than I would if I did it all myself. Helping others takes the same amount of time that it does to help yourself. Those who want to be rich must enrich others first.

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. — Ancient Proverb

2. Align yourself with experts

Every multimillionaire has a team of experts that gives them strategic advice. While everyone has an opinion, you only want to listen to the best. I see so many people listening to the wrong people, which later leads them to devastating results. Find experts in your industry that dominate and befriend them if you can.

Hiring an executive coach is the greatest way to get to the next level. A friend might say, "You should do more push-ups," but a coach will show how it makes you stronger, which motivates you to action. Find a paragon who can identify with your needs. Most executive coaches charge anywhere from 10% to 20% of your yearly income, which is often easy to pay if you follow their advice. 

3. Create systems that leverage

Multimillionaires cannot do it all alone. They have systems and processes that allow them to leverage their gifts and abilities. There's always a better and faster way to get things done. If you create a system of success for yourself, it will eventually serve you. However, it must be your system, not someone else's.

Every day, I have certain habits, devices, and systems that I use to help me operate more efficiently. I used to think that I had to wake up at a certain time to be successful, but I realized that my peak time of productivity is from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. I go to sleep ridiculously late and have found many benefits in doing so. The 5 a.m. wake-up club doesn't work for everyone. You must find a system that works for you.

Free climbing — rock climbing using only your hands, feet, and ropes — can be very dangerous, but it can also be extremely rewarding. One of the most notoriously difficult routes for both free and rock climbing is The Nose at El Capitan in Yosemite, California. 

There are two main faces of El Capitan: the Southwest and the Southeast. The Nose lies between the two and is the most popular climb of El Cap. The 3,000-foot mountain was once considered impossible to climb due to the technicalities involved. 

The very first successful rock-climbing ascent of The Nose wasn't until 1958, and until 1993, no one had successfully free climbed it. Since then, only four people have successfully completed a free-climb ascent of The Nose. Free climbing can be done solo, with no safety gear, or with the help of safety gear — such as ropes — to protect from falls, but not assist on the ascent. We got a chance to speak with one of those climbers, Jorg Verhoeven, and his photographer, Jon Glassberg, about the climb. 

SEE ALSO: These mind-bending aerial photos of Istanbul might give you vertigo

In 2014, Verhoeven finished the fifth ever free-climb ascent of The Nose, taking only three days to do so. The past free-climb ascents had been done in 12 days, four days, and even one in less than a day.

"Climbing in Yosemite has been a dream for me ever since I've started climbing," Verhoeven told Business Insider. "Just the stunning view driving into the park, as you see the profile of the Nose, makes a climber's heart beat faster."

"Standing underneath, I knew that however long this might take me, I had to try and climb it," Verhoeven said.

Sugar appears in unsuspecting foods and beverages.

According to the World Health Organization, the maximum amount of sugar people should consume in a day is less than 10% of their daily caloric intake, meaning less than 50 grams for a 2,000-calorie diet.

However, the WHO strongly recommends reducing that to 5%, or roughly 25 grams.

We took a look at a few beverages that appear to be healthy to see just how much sugar they actually contain. All of the drinks had more sugar than what the WHO recommends.

A new "Daredevil" trailer released Thursday gave us a great first look at Elektra, the breakout femme fatale and former flame of Matt Murdock.

Elektra re-appears in Hell's Kitchen asking for help in taking down a mysterious group of assassins and mercenaries known as "The Hand." They're a lot more than a gang of thugs. They have ties all throughout the Marvel universe and may be the first step in a radical change in tone for Marvel's future Netflix adaptations. 

Read on to find out more about the shadowy group and their ties to Daredevil and the rest of Hell's Kitchen. 

In season two, Matt will face off against a group of powerful assassins known as "The Hand."

The new trailer focused heavily on Elektra's arrival in Hell's Kitchen and her warning: The Hand is trying to take over the city. The Hand are a group of highly-trained ninjas involved in mafia activity in New York City. When Matt took on organized crime in Hell's Kitchen in season one, Elektra says he only helped The Hand by getting rid of their enemies. We don't know the full scope of their plan, though.  

He'll team up with Elektra to fight them, but her connection to the group is dubious.

Elektra warns Matt about The Hand, but we don't see her reveal a key detail: she used to work with them. In the comics, Elektra joined The Hand to increase her skills as an assassin after her father was killed. The trailer makes it clear they'll team up at some point, but how long will it be until her true history with them is revealed? Either way, it's clear both she and Matt will become entangled in the group's overall plot to take control of  Hell's Kitchen.  

Another key ally in Matt's battle against the group is his mentor, Stick.

When Stick is first introduced on the show, he's tracking The Hand's activities in Hell's Kitchen. They're smuggling a secret weapon: a child with powerful, supernatural abilities called "Black Sky." Stick warns Matt that this was likely only the first step in a much larger plot from The Hand. In the new trailer for season two, Stick reappears. Again, he warns against The Hand. 

In the comics, Stick is the leader of a group known as The Chaste. They are locked in a perpetual struggle with The Hand, with Stick and his associates tracking their activities across the globe. The Chaste has never been mentioned by name on the show, but now that The Hand are moving to center stage in season two, it's likely we'll hear more about them. 

Google's AI has made some really trippy images, and now you can buy some of them!

In an effort to understand how its artificial intelligence interprets the world, Google began a process it dubbed "inceptionism" in June. 

The purpose of inceptionism was to see how Google's AI neural networks carried out classification tasks so engineers could further improve the system. But a quirky result of the project was the production of images that look like a serious acid trip.

The project quickly garnered a lot of interest among programmers and artists, so Google decided to open-source its code, dubbed DeepDream, so that anyone could make their own funky images. 

To celebrate this new branch of art, Google will auction more than two dozen of its computer-generated images at the Gray Area Foundation for the Arts in San Francisco on Friday.

Here's how inceptionism works and a look at some of the images that will be available at the auction. 

Inceptionism can work one of two ways. The first way is to feed Google's neural network an image and ask it to look for something specific.

Above is a nice breakdown as to how it works. In the second column, we see Google fed its neural network an image of a tree. Because that neural network is trained to look for buildings in an image, it spat back a squat, green building.

But the second, perhaps more fun, way to use inceptionism is to feed the neural network an image and let it decide what it sees.

Google fed a neural network an image of a sky, and it saw birds! 

When taking that second approach, what the neural network will produce depends on how many layers the image goes through. Google's AI Network is made up of 10-30 layers. The first layer, or input layer, will look at the edges or corners of an image.

Images that go through the first layer will tend to come back with some added swirls or strokes, but look more or less like the original image.

The Oscars are Sunday, February 28, and once again Leonardo DiCaprio fans are pulling for the 41-year-old actor to win his first Academy Award.

"The Revenant" marks the fifth time DiCaprio has been nominated for a Best Actor Oscar since his acclaimed role in 1993's "What's Eating Gilbert Grape."

If he wins — and he should since he's the frontrunner right now — expect a huge outcry from Leo fans everywhere. (If he doesn't you can expect one, too.)

While DiCaprio may not have any Oscar gold, he has a rabid fanbase online that has been waiting to see him in all his Academy Award-winning glory.

As the years have stretched on, DiCaprio has appeared to constantly one-up his previous performances to gain Oscar status (the man ate raw bison for his last role and bled on the set of "Django Unchained" in character). Fans took notice and made DiCaprio's quest into a series of hilariously heartbreaking memes.

Before Sunday, let's revisit the best of "Bad Luck Leo" and his constant Oscar snubs.

Leonardo DiCaprio has been waiting 23 years through five nominations for his first Oscar.

As the years have passed, fans have started to find it increasingly frustrating he hasn't gotten Academy recognition for his roles in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape,""The Aviator,""Blood Diamond," and "The Wolf of Wall Street."

So they started poking fun, notably after a forlorn GIF of DiCaprio from the 2012 Golden Globes surfaced.

Tech Insider's Megan Willett recently wrote a great review of the LuMee, the phone case Kim Kardashian and other celebrities use to step up their selfie game. The LuMee unquestionably adds some magic to your selfies, but as Megan wrote it costs $50 and is kind of bulky to carry around.

The gadget works by creating a ring of light around your smartphone, filling in shadows on your face and reflecting a glow back into the camera. Photographers have known about this trick for decades, and you can achieve the same effect on your own.

Here's how it works.

First check out the difference between my selfies with and without the LuMee camera.

Shadows are filled in and you can see my eye color, but I have to hold the camera so close to my face that wide-angle distortion stretched my (already big enough thankyouverymuch) forehead.

But hold the camera at a more reasonable selfie distance and the effect is weakened.

Fortunately' LuMee's trick is easy to replicate without a LuMee. Here's how I did it in a studio:

Several lights surrounding my subject's face produced the even skin tone in this image. Each one cancels the other's shadows.

In this bestseller, Diamond turns traditional negotiation strategies on their head, instead suggesting that it's important to value your partner's emotions and perceptions.

As Diamond wrote on Business Insider, "The more important the negotiation is, the more emotional people tend to be — whether diplomacy, a billion dollar deal or my kid wants an ice cream cone. Pay attention to this! The world is not rational."

The book is based on Diamond's course at Wharton Business School, and Google has even used it in its employee training.

The Caribbean islands are bursting with adventurous activities, clear waters, and stunning natural sites.

Though each island has its own unique appeal, some have advantages over the others.

We've ranked the best islands in the Caribbean, based on the costs of hotel bookings, their accessibility, and the range of activities they offer.

To rank the islands, we factored in each one's average hotel room costs using data from Hotels.com, the flight time from New York City, the number of attractions listed on TripAdvisor, and the amount of coastline offered per square kilometer.

25. St. Vincent and the Grenadines

Distance from NYC: 6 hours

Average hotel room cost: $637 per night 

Located in the heart of the Caribbean Sea, the island chain of St. Vincent and the Grenadines is made up of 32 islands and cays. The relatively deserted islands offer travelers a combination of rainforest adventures, water sports, luxury accommodations, and miles of powder-white sand beaches. Of the 115 activities offered to travelers, 59 of them are either stunning natural sites or parks. The island chain has a moderate beach density score of 0.22. 

24. Haiti

Distance from NYC: 7 hours and 45 minutes

Average hotel room cost: $107 per night 

In the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake, Haiti has undergone recovery efforts that have brought travelers back to the history-rich island. There are plenty of historic and picturesque attractions to see here, including the Musée du Panthéon National Haïtien and the Marche de Fer flea market. It has a low beach density score of 0.06, indicating that it has relatively little beachfront compared to other Caribbean islands.

23. Anguilla

Distance from NYC: 5 hours and 2 minutes

Average hotel room cost: $412 per night 

In Anguilla, you'll find miles of white sand and pristine waters — hence its high beach density score of 0.67. With romantic beaches like Rendezvous Bay, this is a destination where you can swim and sunbathe year-round. Its list of activities range from swimming with dolphins to sailing on glass-bottom boats.

We’ve finally made it.

The 88th Academy Awards are taking place Sunday night and after months of screenings, cocktail parties, and campaigns, it’s time to give out some Oscars.

Though many will be tuning in to see how host Chris Rock takes on the movie industry’s lack-of-diversity issue that’s hit a boiling point, it’s also going to be a rare year when the night’s biggest prize is anyone's guess.

Best picture is often locked down by the awards pundits long before Oscar night, but this year there’s a race between three films — “Spotlight,” “The Revenant,” and “The Big Short.”

Another big storyline is if Leonardo DiCaprio will finally get his first Oscar win.

Well, we're ready to get it all rolling. So here we’ve come up with our predictions of who will win Oscars on Sunday.

See all the nominees.

SEE ALSO: Disney just showed off a ton of new concept art for "Star Wars" land, and it looks incredible

Best Animated Feature: "Inside Out"

What will win: “Inside Out”

The movie isn’t just loved industry-wide but by general audiences. Pixar is also still the gold standard when it comes to today’s animated features, so any other title winning would be a complete shock.

What else could win: It feels like this one’s a lock.

Best Cinematography: “The Revenant”

Who will win: Emmanuel Lubezki, “The Revenant”

You could honestly make a case for anyone in this category, but the way the year is going, “The Revenant” has wowed everyone — especially the below-the-line departments. That includes Lubezki, who shot the entire film with natural light and captures some incredible visuals. This would be the DP’s third straight Oscar win in this category; fourth in five years.

Who else could win: Roger Deakins, “Sicario”
This is more the sentimentalist in me than anything. This year marks the legendary cinematographer’s 13th Oscar nomination. “Sicario” won’t be what he’s remembered best for, but it’s another beautifully-lensed work.

Best Documentary: "What Happened, Miss Simone?"

What will win: “What Happened, Miss Simone?”

Netflix is still licking its wounds from its first narrative feature film, “Beasts of No Nation,” being shut out of the Oscars. But it has been a fixture in the documentary category for the last few years, and that will carry through to this year's Oscars. Liz Garbus’ moving portrait of singer/civil rights activist Nina Simone has been on Netflix for months (they also have another doc nominee, “Winter on Fire”) , giving the film not just supreme access to voters but also to their friends who can’t stop gushing about it.

What else could win: “Cartel Land”

Profiling the drug trade from multiple perspectives, its access looks like something out of a Vice piece. If voters are looking for something a little edgier they might turn this way.

Republican presidential hopeful and billionaire businessman Donald Trump works in an office on the 25th floor of the 68-story Trump Tower, overlooking Central Park in Manhattan.

Trump told The Wall Street Journal's Monica Langley that his daily routine is to wake up at 5 a.m., read and watch the news, and head to the office for business and political work around 8.

"I come in and do work like everyone else," he said.

That may be, but not everyone can say that they live in a penthouse above their workplace or that their office is adorned with memorabilia from famous athletes or past magazine covers.

We watched video tours Trump gave to The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post, and looked through photos, to find some of the most interesting and impressive things he has in his office:

The walls are filled with awards ...

One wall of Donald Trump's office holds a number of awards, many of which were given to him by the Jewish community. One that stands out to Trump is the Tree of Life — a humanitarian award given by the Jewish National Fund.

"It means so much to me," Trump tells The Washington Post. "A lot of times I'll have friends of mine come in [who are] Jewish and they'll see the Tree of Life, and they'll say, 'Wow, what a great thing.'"

Trump may have another award to add to his collection soon — the Nobel Peace Prize — after he was rumored to be one of the secret nominees earlier this month, according to The Washington Times.

... and old magazine covers.

Next to his awards are his various magazine covers.

"Now I have so many that I can't put them up," he tells The Washington Post.

Some stand-outs include the Variety cover he did when "The Apprentice" was rated as the No. 1 show, and his Playboy cover that made him one of the few privileged men in history to win such an honor. Other men who appeared on the cover include Steve Martin, Jerry Seinfeld, and Seth Rogen.

He has a framed photo of him shaking hands with former US President Ronald Reagan.

This crowded wall also holds a picture of Trump shaking former US President Ronald Reagan's hand at the White House.

He says Reagan was "terrific" in The Washington Post video.

"I had a very good relationship with him. Not a big relationship because I was young. But he liked me, and I liked him," Trump recalls.

Astronaut Scott Kelly has broken the record for spending more continuous time in space than any other NASA astronaut — 340 days in orbit. And on Tuesday, March 1, he's scheduled to return to planet Earth.

When he comes home, Kelly will have circled the globe 5,440 times, for a total distance of 143,846,525 miles, according to the New York Times.

That's a lot of time to take amazing photos.

And thanks to the magic of the Internet, he's been documenting the whole thing on Instagram for his 844,000 followers.

The photos are so incredible it would be impossible to rank them. These are the ones that perfectly capture his artistic eye.

This is just one of the 10,944 sunrises and sunsets Kelly had the chance to see in space.

Warmer weather is approaching — is your wardrobe game to handle it?

A sweatshirt will keep you warm on chilly nights.

If nothing else, make sure you add a cool gray sweatshirt to your spring wardrobe.

Nothing beats its soft, warm embrace when the temperature drops.

Uniqlo makes a great one.

A Breton-striped shirt for a pop of prep.

Originally made for French sailors, the Breton-striped shirt has since become a spring staple. It's comfortable and roomy, perfect for the quick-changing spring weather.

French label Saint James makes the classic one, and it's even sold by J. Crew.

A polo shirt to keep it casual.

If you don't have a nice polo shirt to pull out of your closet in case of emergency, it's time to invest in one.

This Acne Studios version is pricey, but you can't beat its casual-cool look. There are endless options — find one that speaks to you.

They learn to manage their time.

When you're just starting to build your career, it can be difficult to arrange your days for maximum productivity.

As Étienne Garbugli, a Montreal-based entrepreneur and author, explains in his presentation "26 Time Management Hacks I Wish I'd Known At 20," setting deadlines for everything you're working on and avoiding multitasking are two keys to effectively managing your time.

They don't prioritize money above all else.

While there are those who spend their 20s drifting without direction, there are others who are so afraid of failure that they take a job solely because it provides a comfortable paycheck.

But, says Quora user Rich Tatum, that job you're not interested in quickly becomes a career, and by the time you're 30, it's a lot harder to start pursuing your passion.

The key, says author Cal Newport, is to pursue something that you're passionate about and is valuable to employers.

They save.

A Bankrate survey of 1,003 people found that 69% of those ages 18-29 had no retirement savings at all. Twenty-somethings who don't have enough foresight to recognize that one day they're going to retire and need money to live on are missing out on years of money gained through interest.

Entrepreneur Aditya Rathnam writes on Quora there's no need to start investing too much, since you're just starting your career, but it's essential to take advantage of your company's 401(k) matching program, if one is available, and/or open an IRA account.
