It's About Your Paycheck!

This engaging discussion provides a millennial's perspective on career aspirations, pay equity, and the need for work-life balance. The hosts, including their guest - a mature millennial, deeply reflect on the value of self-branding and multiple income streams for achieving financial goals. The conversation later steers towards the current state of our education system, assessing its role in setting up future generations for success or failure in their professional lives. This introspection identifies the pitfalls of the 'one size fits all' method prevalent in education and underscores the need for a more individualistic approach with diverse and relevant learning modes. The evolving arena of higher education, concepts such as micro-degrees, and the potential role of technology like AI in reshaping the education landscape are also delved into.
