Go to school. Get a job. Climb the corporate ladder. And eventually… retire! It’s the professional model we’ve all been taught to follow. But here's the thing: a whopping 70% of Americans say they feel disengaged at their jobs. And 9 out of every 10 people say they’re willing to take a pay cut to do more-meaningful work. So how can YOU set yourself up for career joy? Can you make a switch, even if you're DECADES into your profession? And do you HAVE to make financial sacrifices to do what you love? How can you help college students in your life find the right career path? Well, my guest has the answers. She's Andrea Koppel, the Founder and CEO of Time4Coffee Podcast and College2Career Academy.
