What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?

Jaerica hosts Fishing for Answers solo and reflects on the question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” noting that many people change jobs or careers multiple times and that it’s common not to choose one path at 18 and stay until retirement. She shares her own trajectory into public power and human resources, explains the difference between changing a career versus changing a job, and discusses reasons people shift paths such as stress, flexibility, burnout, finances, and the desire for alignment between heart and head. She encourages viewers to make pros-and-cons lists, pray and think through fear, training, networking, and relocation, and to consider personal growth and relationships alongside professional goals. She invites viewers to comment with their experiences and to follow and engage on Spotify. #FishingForAnswers #CareerChange #JobChange #HumanResources #PublicPower #WorkLifeBalance #Burnout #Flexibility #ProfessionalDevelopment #F4A
