'Invest in DVDs': 30+ Pieces of bad advice

These people thought they were getting good advice, only to realize years later how wrong the advice was.

Relying on trusted friends and family members is how many people get through life. Of course, you trust the judgment of your mom or your best friend… but they aren't always right. Sometimes well-meaning bits of advice can totally miss the mark. Just because dad can dole out some advice that his father gave him in the 1970s, doesn't mean that's useful in today's day and age. Thanks, but no thanks.

Some people were given career advice that set them back, like one person who was encouraged to pick a college degree, any degree, and work towards that. That person didn't know what they wanted to do in life, so they just got a random degree that they have no use for now. That's a steep price to pay for a career you won't embark on… Other people also shared the tidbits of bad advice they've gotten about relationships, careers, and more, which you can check out below.
