Introducing the CareerKit – the podcast that deepens college students' understanding of different career paths within different domains and industries. What does a graphic designer do on a day-to-day basis? What steps can a college student take to become a political activist, restauranteur, or entrepreneur? How can you get ahead in the crowded field of software development, and what actually *is* "business consulting"? CareerKit aims to answer these questions, and - in the process - give us college students more clarity in what to do for the future
