In a virtual commencement during the pandemic, Buffett shared the career philosophy that guided him to becoming one of the most successful investors in history. He acknowledged that graduates might not find this dream job immediately — they have to make a living too — but urged them never to settle permanently for less. The job should be one you'd jump out of bed for in the morning, one that stops feeling like work entirely. Having found exactly that at age 90, Buffett spoke from decades of experience about the difference between a paycheck and a calling.
