EPIC Career

For what kind of work would you most want to be remembered?

How vividly imagining your own death can help your next career move Imagining what you would like to have said about you when you die could give you the blueprint for your future.

My Takeaway: once you’ve climbed the mountain, you find that there are only more mountains to climb. When you observe children, they don’t gravitate toward those external markers of success. Rather, they simply gravitate to what they most enjoy, which makes them happy. Definitely some things to think about as we craft our career and life plans.

Why So Many Smart People Aren’t Happy It’s a paradox: Shouldn’t the most accomplished be well equipped to make choices that maximize life satisfaction?

When to leave your job, according to two Stanford academics Bill Burnett and Dave Evans explain how to use the principles of design thinking to decide whether you should leave your job.

Figuring out your career is important as is Academic Achievement, but I think we often forget about helping our clients/students build an identity as a professional. Whether they come from high or low income families, beginning helping them consider the challenges of their future (e.g., job pressures, family responsibilities, social life maintenance) is critical. I always tell my students that though these issues may seem simple and secondary to completing their Academic goals and establishing their careers, they are not less important.

Not All First-Generation Students Are Low-Income And it is isolating to conflate the two labels.

Figure out your college major fit early, make a focused plan to develop your skills and gain experience, and live with no regrets!

What College Graduates Regret Half wish they'd gotten more work experience while still in school.

Career Assessment is the only solution to the student loan debt crisis! Students must know the odds of their success in career fields before beginning borrowing for any collegiate program. If students won't seek this service themselves, colleges and universities must integrate it into required course curricula!

The real crisis in higher education is about a lot more than debt Many colleges and universities are leaving students with no better than a 50/50 chance of graduating or landing good jobs.

So pleased to happen upon a former student. He detailed opportunities he has discovered since developing his career and college major plan in my course. Sometimes you wonder what impact you have on your students/clients, but I never question the impact they have on my life. They say if you find work that you love, you'll never work a day in your life. Seeing my student reminds me of my gratitude for a career that I love!
