"My wife calls my career path schizophrenic, started as a DJ (in high school), moved to television news (won and Emmy at age 18), jumped over to government service as a leader for the Attorney General, then into public relations, a startup (called DirecTV), sports with PGA Tour, NASCAR, NFL and now helping manage a global agency with more than 100 offices. They key was looking for careers that were thrilling, intriguing and challenging. I'm always amazed that kids in first grade know exactly what they want to be when they grow up and by high school no one seems to know. My theory is that we create pressure and a fear of ridicule in ways that teenagers stop sharing their dream jobs and fall into a default response of "I don't know what I want to do." I encourage these students to really dig in and chase the thing they are most interested in pursuing."
