Episode 13: The Ultimate Side Hustle

from Going Forth Hosted by Center for Careers, Life, and Service at Grinnell College

Most of us dream of having a successful career that is both personally and professionally fulfilling. But what about both at the same time? Kari Bassett '98, a self described "IT professional by day and social justice warrior by night," knows a thing or two about what it means to lead a double life. On this episode, she walks us through her career: from working in a children's psychiatric facility, attending business school, and breaking into the world of IT without a degree in Computer Science to founding her own non-profit, the Iowa Black History Research Collective.
