in terms of jobs, this takes the cake:

according to that logic, everyone is worth $0 because your first job assesses your worth to be $0 because you were paid nothing by a company before this job, your second job looks at your first job and agrees that you are worth $0. rinse and repeat till you die.

Worst advice?
Take as many classes in possible per year in university to get out faster.
At least where I live, yearly fees are so cheap that most students will take reduced course loads so that they can put A LOT of time into the 3 or so classes they take compared to others like myself with 5 per semester.

Passions, dreams, goals, I wouldn't get too caught up in them. If you don't achieve their mythical importance, you set yourself up for disappointment, and feel like you failed.
What I have always found more useful are effective systems that might be working towards some short- or long-term goal, but the focus is more on the system than the achieving the passion or goal or endpoint. Because along the way, you pick up skills, meet people, gain confidence, create more opportunities, etc. The goal is simply a dessert. The system in the entree.
I recently read this book by the Dilbert creator and found it very useful for a person like myself that has difficulty nailing down goals but creates effective systems unconsciously: http://www.amazon.com/How-Fail-Almost-Everything-Still/dp/1591847745/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=&qid=
