- Utbildning
People are faced with education questions all throughout life. Students are asked frequently “what do you want to be when you grow up?” Professionals are weighing whether continued education or certifications are worth the investment. Parents are constantly contemplating how best to guide their kids through school and what school system is best for each child. Some people just want to learn for fun. What better way to learn than from someone who has already been through what you are planning on going through?
The goal of this show is to connect listeners with real life examples to help them make informed decisions with their educational goals.
This show may focus more on education route options in some instances and more on application in others. But, generally, the episodes will involve interviewing people to discuss their specific education background and how they’ve applied it.
