If you recognize that something can "ruin your career" maybe the smart move is to not fucking do that.
Good advice for the olden days when careers were only ruined for good reason, and this specific case as contains one of those good reasons. But in this modern witch hunt era we're currently living, doing anything can potentially ruin your career. Someone snapped a picture of you enjoying a beer at a party? You're done. I assume everything I do will ruin my career. If this comment weren't anonymous, it no doubt would have already ruined my career as soon as I pressed submit.
I agree careers get ruined more often over silly things now, but its not anywhere close to a modern issue. People have been getting some form of "cancelled" for pretty much all of time, sometimes for a good reason and sometimes for a bad reason. If you really live your life in constant terror over the idea, maybe you should become self-sufficient and move off the grid. Thats kinda the only solution to the problem. People are social animals and social animals sometimes make stupid social decisions such as "cancelling" one another and its just kinda unavoidable.
If there is any to be terrified of, it would be having only one career. Even if there is no risk of being "cancelled", there are many other threats to careers that are completely beyond one's control. No normally functioning person would need to be worried about having a career ruined as they would never put all of their eggs in one career basket in the first place.
Granted, a full grown adult who thinks having a sexual relationship with a teenage student is a good idea is not normally functioning.
