When piloting a change, like pivoting your career, what’s more important: education or experience? This week, we chat about weighing the value of a college degree (and its hefty price tag), how the current college to career pipeline is broken and often biased, and why you’re never too old to be an intern. We also celebrate the Miami Heat’s Eastern Conference win, couch potato weekends, and everyone taking their hard-earned vacation days. Whether you’re Team Education or Team Experience, remember to live life and enjoy it. Peace, love, and PTO!
