    In this segment of "Time We Discuss" I speak with Author, Interpreter,
    and Educator for the Deaf, Jared Lopatin. Spoiler alert - discover just
    how little I know about this occupation, right at the opening question
    :-D
    In this awesome conversation with Jared, we learn that ASL is just
    another language and teaching is teaching. He talks about possible
    credentials needed to work in this career as well as well. In speaking
    with Jared, we learn about the different between signing and
    interpreting.
    At the end of the segment, we speak about Jared's start as an author and
    he speaks briefly about the five books which he has published (links
    below).
    Because I've already spoken with several authors recently, I didn't
    spend much time on this particular topic. Instead, I focused on his work
    as an educator and interpreter.
    After watching this video, you should have a general idea of what career
    paths are available for someone pursuing a career in Deaf Education and
    whether or not this could be a good career choice for you.

  • Time We Discuss: Starting a Nonprofit Organization

    #nonprofit #management #career #careerchange #newcareers

    In this segment of "Time We Discuss" I speak with founder, Erica Wright,
    of the Nonprofit Organization Steven's Wings: Global Youth Adventures.  @StevensWings 
    We first talk about what Steven's Wings is and what Erica hopes to
    accomplish. We dive a little deeper and explore what it is like to
    actually start the nonprofit organization. This includes talking about
    platforms and professions that specifically help with the creation of
    businesses, including nonprofit organizations. Steven's Wings is a young
    NPO, so Erica is a very busy person and she builds this organization to
    help empower the youth.
    After watching this video, you should have a general idea of how to
    start a nonprofit organization and if this type of leadership position
    is a good career choices for you.

  • Time We Discuss Career as a Published Author and College Professor

    #published #author #professor #careerchange #career

    In this segment of "Time We Discuss" I look at what it's like to be a Published Author and College Professor.
    We first talk about some of the differences between a teaching at a public university versus a private university. Watch the video on "Career as a Tenured College Professor" for more information on what it's like to teach at a public university. During the second half, we talk about what it's like to get a novel published. We talk about different steps to take, size of a publishing company, advances, and the staff with which you can expect to work.
    After watching this video, you should have a general idea of what career paths are available if you either want to teach at a private university or if you want to be a published author. Find out if these
    are good career choices for you.
