OT: Career/life advice for a 20something

I was wondering if fellow members could share their personal stories of career/life success and the struggles they endured to get where they're at. I'm 24 and studying for board exams, while trying to further build my resume with work experiences specifically related to my field, so that way I hope to get recruited next fall at my college when firms go to my school. Trying to stay positive that everything will fall into place and I'll have a stable job/income as long as I accomplish what I need to do...but I'm scared, doubt myself, unsure if I'll ever pass these exams, worry that I won't succeed and will be financially unsecure, worry too much about the future, etc etc. On top of that, my state's unemployment rate is one of the highest in the nation so that also adds to it. Yeah, I admit, perhaps the problem is that I am part of Gen Y "entitlement"...but just so you guys know, I've been doing volunteer work for 5 years now, held a couple unpaid internships, had several part-time jobs and live pretty frugally...just so you know lol.

So just wanted people to share their personal stories and advice just so I feel like I'm not alone. Thanks!
