Episode 19: Hidden Careers on Campus


Listen Later

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to work on a college campus, or how to break into higher education, this episode is for you!

In this conversation, I sit down with Carl Olivieri, Senior Associate Dean of Students, to pull back the curtain on careers in higher education. From student activities to leadership roles, Carl shares how he built his career, what different departments actually do, and how to land a job in this space, even if you don’t have a traditional background.

We talk about:

  • The different career paths in higher education (beyond teaching)
  • How to get a job at a college or university
  • The skills that matter most in student-facing roles
  • What it’s really like to work in student affairs
  • Why higher ed can be a meaningful and fulfilling career path
  • If you're looking for a mission-driven career, or considering a pivot, this episode will open your eyes to opportunities you may not even know exist.
