Ep 47. Oscar Kersey - Stern: Will You Be a Critic, Consumer, or Contributor?

Today’s guest is my good friend, Oscar Kersey, a career switcher who made a bold call after being accepted to top law schools. Instead of following the expected path, Oscar realized he did not actually want to be a lawyer and pivoted toward business school. In this episode, Oscar shares: Why he chose to walk away from law school offers and pursue an MBA instead His framework for approaching life and work as a consumer, a critic, or a contributor and why he intentionally strives to be a contributor What made NYU Stern the right fit for him, from the energy and opportunities of New York City to the school’s deeply collaborative student culture This conversation is a great listen for anyone questioning an “obvious” next step, considering a major pivot, or trying to choose a program that truly fits who they are and how they want to show up.
