The (Un)Conventional Path

Is paying for four years of Gen Eds the only way to land your dream job? Welcome to The (Un)Conventional Path, the show that challenges the college-to-career pipeline. Host Nicole Christensen, a Penn State sophomore, is questioning the system, the high costs, and the lack of real-world prep. We're talking to senior marketing leaders, fashion marketers, tech innovators, and recruiters about their journeys—especially the ones that skipped the typical route. If you're a high school student or a college freshman/sophomore who's confused about careers and tired of "just taking classes," this podcast is your resource for networking, securing internships, and figuring out what your dream job is not. Stop wondering and start working towards your future—listen now!
