When I Grow Up: Journeying Through Careers in Every Stage of Life

We have gone through a lot this year. And some of that "a lot" may have included an unexpected job loss or change. We wanted to take time and recognize that not every need for career exploration is from . Sometimes, we are anxious and need practical help. In this podcast, we share with you some basic steps to focus on if you have experienced a sudden job loss.

So often, college students approach the college process linearly. We want to encourage students to think differently about how they approach their college experience so that it is worth their invested time and money. In this podcast, you will hear us discuss this idea of beginning with the end in mind-that if you first choose what career you hope to have, then you can plot out a more clear path of what opportunities to take within college. We also address how this changes between traditional and nontraditional students.

We had the privilege of talking with Mischon Hart, Director of Marketing at Anderson University. Over the past year, Mischon created a brief quiz for incoming students that allows them to change their language and the way they think about career clusters. We enjoyed talking with Mischon about how this was created and even more details about the quiz itself. If you would like to take the quiz, the link is below. I will say that even though we are not college students ourselves, we found the quiz to be quite enjoyable. We hope you will check it out and then let us know what your results were and how accurate you felt they were to who you are.

Most high school students, upon graduating, assume that the next step is college. In this episode, we want to give students and parents permission to ask whether college is the best next step. 

We are excited to be talking with you about journeying through careers in every stage of life. In our first podcast, we are giving you a brief introduction about who we are and what you can expect from us in the future.
