Video games are EXPLODING right now!! And if students don't want to go pro playing Fortnite, their next bet is getting in on the ground floor and designing the video game itself.

This episode, I got to ask Deana from Captilight Studios and Brandon from Electronic Arts (EA) about what it's like to be a game designer in both a large corporate setting, as well in an indie studio.

This episode is filled with insights from the industry as well as advice to all students, not just game designers.

Being a student is hard and most people underestimate how much time it takes to be a good student (talking to all of you parents out there). So balancing getting good grades, relaxing, and watching Netflix, can be tough. This week you'll hear from Ledo and Elizabeth on how they balance their lives and maintain being Forbes 30 Under 30 Scholars as well as still having lives.

This is a new segment in "Declassified College" where we go over one specific career and get insights from people who are actually in the field.

Justin Connors has worked with Venus Williams, Victor Oladipo, WWE, ESPN, and the list goes on! He shares his advice to students and what he wished University taught him.

Chris (Pompsie) has a unique story about how he got his job at Vaynermedia. It wasn't the traditional path. You can find his video resume here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNVAtnAmzag

Most of you have just finished finals, graduated, or are in the midst of your finals right now (Good Luck if that's you!)

With classes ending, it's time to take a step back and relax because you've been working incredibly hard all week. We hear from Austen, Alyssa, and Charles this week on their tips on how to take a break and what you can do during that break to start to position yourself correctly for your career!

This was our best season yet where we cracked iTunes Top 100 for the "How To" Category!

We covered some huge topics such as the future of education, how to get internships by finding your champion, and a couple of world-class interviews from higher education professionals.

Our top episodes this season were:

How I interned at 3 Fortune 150 companies In college

How to build relationships with your professors

How to make the most of your summer

Higher education is in a weird place right now. But Colin has some unique insights as he has boots on the ground (well virtually).

This episode is focused on what Universities and Colleges could look like come Fall. Will college's return normally? Are football tailgates going to be a thing? Colin answers these questions in this episode.

Make sure you stay till the end because Colin leaves his last tips on some resources that you can use to further implement design thinking into your career search!

"What do you want to be when you grow up" probably the worst possible question to be asked. No one really knows the answer to it, but there are ways to start to narrow down what you could do as a career later on in your life.

Colin Byard is a University Innovation Alliance Fellow and he basically gets to find innovative ways to help students find jobs before they graduate. He's a great friend of mine and I love talking to him because he is always working on something cool.

In this episode, you will hear about some of those projects that he is working on, how to use design thinking as a student to find your career path, and much more.

If you're stressed out about not knowing what you want to do later in life... this is the perfect episode for you!

Choosing a major can be extremely stressful AND expensive. Over 80% of all students switch their major at least once... For me? I think that's a waste.

Listen to this episode to learn why you probably shouldn't change your major.
