After graduating with a double major, I applied for countless jobs and faced rejection from a master's program.

This prompted me to reconsider the traditional career path, and ultimately, not getting hired turned out to be a blessing in disguise. In this episode, I delve into why I chose an alternative path, my journey into freelancing, and how it has been the best decision for me.
