In this episode, Devon and Sarah-Jane chatted with Courtney Brooks, Case Manager, Employment and Social Services for the Municipality of Chatham-Kent.

As usual, talking about someone's career journey led to some great nuggets of information.

Here are some of the highlights:

• Using transfer credits to choose a university program so that it takes less time and costs less
• Finding the balance of competency at work and being challenged enough to land in the sweet spot of job satisfaction
• Using skills in ways you didn't expect - like using teaching, coaching and mentoring skills in a case management capacity, perhaps
• The struggles parents have to understand their kids' education options when the options are so different and more varied than they used to be
• Understanding that evolving as a person might make you better equipped to take on your dream role later in life, rather than landing in it as quickly as possible.
• The disconnect between high school courses and real work

Enjoy!
