Sara Dimerman in conversation with Brittany Shields about helping post secondary students find the “right” career path. Over the course of this episode you will learn more about:

• How typical it is for graduating high school students not to know what they want to do when they grow up, so to speak
• How typical it is for undergraduate students who are considering taking further steps by applying to a Masters or post graduate program, to still not know what they want to do with the rest of their lives
• Whether a “gap” year is sometimes a good idea and how students can be most productive during this time off so that they are better equipped to apply to a program of choice or go into the working world at the end of the gap period
• How typical it is for post secondary students to leave their program part way through and some of the reasons this happens
• What to do when someone has few interests and a low level of motivation
• What to do when someone has too many interests, ideas and possibilities and how they can fine tune their direction
• How students who know what they want to “be” can figure out what will get them there
• How important it is that one be university or college educated in order to be successful, feel productive and have career satisfaction
• Some ways students or young adults can figure out their career path
