In this episode, I talk about a "traditional" vs "nontraditional" path, give an example of my own nontraditional path to tenure, and talk about why this will be the last episode of this podcast until the fall! This episode is a little more about letting go of the "rules" of life that are not helpful to us, like that we have to go to college at age 18 or we have to stick to one career path. Action item: don't be too afraid to jump off that (metaphorical) cliff if it is what you need/want to do, and follow a nontraditional path if you like, there is no shame in it.
