So Valuable! Helps Shave Off Years.

Trying to figure out what you want to be when you grow up can be so hard! Some of us take YEARS to do it. Some problems are not really knowing what’s available or what certain jobs are really like. This podcast helps open your eyes to so much more of what’s possible, can help shave off wasted time and is such a valuable resource! Thank you Ali! This podcast is so needed.

Perfect for figuring out your life!

I really wish this podcast had been around when I was a high schooler/in my early years of college. I changed my major 3 times and I wish I had had more insight on what jobs existed and entailed. Love learning about all the possibilities out there!

A must listen for career guidance

If you need career guidance or you are just genuinely curious about an interesting array of occupations, this is the podcast for you! Interesting and fast paced episodes that feature the ins and outs of different careers with a cheerful host. I already have a M.Ed but the unique careers highlighted on this podcast have me dreaming about making a career change. Loved the episode on music therapy, a field I had no idea even existed.
