25. It's Graduation Time

from An Academic's Life · host Genesea M. Carter

It's graduation time, which always makes me think about new beginnings. But graduation time is also a moment to remember two critical points: (1) we are so much more than our degrees and content areas and (2) let's not put all of our (career) eggs in one basket. In this episode, I encourage all listeners--including myself because I need to hear it just as much--to celebrate our skills beyond content knowledge, to embrace new ideas about the work landscape, and to think big about the lives we want to have.  If this topic resonates with you, I encourage you to also check out Bill Burnett and Bob Evans' Designing Your Life, Maggie Berg and Barbara K. Seeber's The Slow Professor: Challenging the Culture of Speed in the Academy, and Elizabeth Perle McKenna's When Work Doesn't Work Anymore: Women, Work, and Identity.  Happy listening!
