Welcome to episode 6, the first episode in "Redefining the Australian Dream" series. In this episode, Andrea and Heshan talk to Jeff Borland, a Professor of Economics at the University of Melbourne, who researches the policy and operation of Australian labour markets, economic history and sports economics. They discuss the difficulties of young people breaking into the labour market, the value of internships, volunteering and work experience as well as the importance of following your passion.
