In this inaugural, short and sweet episode of Overcoming Underemployment I talk about what underemployment is, how I came to be interested in it, and what you can expect to get from the podcast. If you're new about these parts this is a fantastic episode to start with. Underemployment has been a part of my life since 2013, and I'm so excited to have this podcast out in the world as a resource for anyone who's underemployed and trying to figure out their life. If you have any thoughts to share, with me, find me on your favorite social media platform (I'm @JessicaILutz everywhere) and use the hashtag #UnderemploymentPod. Happy listening! New episodes are uploaded on the 1st and 15th of each month.
