In this episode, we take a pause from discussing career-focused topics to revisit a topic introduced in episode 8: developing and embracing self-awareness. We also discuss the importance of self-acceptance and how developing it following the development of self-awareness is critical to doing what we can do have a better experience this school year regardless of what unforeseen circumstances or events the world may bring our way.

Committing to Self-awareness AND Self-acceptance: A Goal for the New School Year

In this episode, we discuss the hard fact that salaries vary across industries. Therefore, it's important to consider this reality when choosing a job. Doing so ensures the career you choose will support the lifestyle you want to have. At the same time, however, pay shouldn't be the only factor you consider when deciding on a career.

We review salary projections for the Class of 2022 as well as average salaries across various majors and compare them to college students' expectations. Then, we take a look at an example of the potential consequence of choosing a career based on pay and prestige when said career isn't in alignment with your personal values.

Pursuing a Career Based on Your Interests vs. Pay: Where the Rubber Meets the Road

Today, we round out our discussion of embracing self-awareness and self-acceptance (in episode 98) while also considering the fact that various jobs and career fields offer different pay (episode 99) with a solution for those considering a career in traditionally lower paying fields: increase your income by creating a portfolio of work.

We also review previous guests who have adopted this approach to give examples of how anyone might pursue this path as well.

Increasing Your Income by Creating a Portfolio of Work

Raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Sean currently works as Director of Enrollment Analytics for Queens University of Charlotte (https://www.queens.edu/) in Charlotte, NC. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in History from St. Ambrose University (https://www.sau.edu/) in Iowa and a Master of Arts in Higher Education from Ashford University.

Sean’s career journey was fueled with an unrelenting ambition to do the heart work and honor his family’s legacy as educators. Unfortunately, he oftentimes pursued this journey at the expense of his personal identity and those around him. After suffering from multiple mental health challenges, he sought help, refocused his priorities and purpose. All of this has helped him cultivate a teachable strategy to inspire anyone to become enthusiastic about using their unique gifts to shape what is needed to move forward without losing themselves. 

In this episode, Sean shares:

- How he decided where to attend college

- What attracted him to history as a college major

- How an internship encouraged him to pursue a career working in museums only for his graduate program to convince him otherwise (essentially his lack of fulfillment with the process of pursuing his desired career field led him to change careers altogether)

- The difference between having a job vs a career

- How he discovered his passion for working in college admissions

- Important differences in his career journey prior to achieving his goals compared to the journey afterward

Maximizing Your Life by Maximizing Your Time: What is Time Management?

Born and raised in Atlanta, GA, Nicholas Sapp grew up in the city’s Cascade neighborhood. He graduated from the University of Chicago ( https://www.uchicago.edu/) with a major in Comparative Human Development. While on a leave of absence from his undergraduate studies, Nicholas’ interest in Student Affairs was sparked by the programming offered by Georgia State University’s Office of Black Student Achievement (https://engagement.gsu.edu/black-student-achievement/).

Currently, he spends his 4th year working at Emory University (https://www.emory.edu/home/index.html) with the goal of providing similar programming opportunities to its student population. Outside of work, Nicholas is passionate about Black American street dances and is eagerly learning, competing, and teaching.

In this episode, Nicholas shares:

- How he ended up attending one of the top universities in the United States (University of Chicago)

- His thought process when deciding to which colleges to apply and ultimately which school to attend

- Why he took a leave of absence from college, and how that time away helped him discover the students affairs career path

- The importance of talking about how to succeed in college just as much as it is to discuss attending college

- How taking a job just to “get your foot in the door” can be a path that leads to your desired job

Planning the Year Ahead with Intention: Introducing YearCompass

When considering careers or preparing for a career change, we oftentimes want to be as certain as possible we're pursuing a field that'll offer strong opportunities for employment as well as opportunities for growth and promotion into new positions with greater pay. Even when we do our research and choose a career with strong indicators of continuous growth, however, this still doesn't mean that our success is guaranteed.

In today's episode we review a couple of examples in which industries traditionally known for their security have actually had to lay employees off due to unforeseen circumstances caused by the economy. Then, we discuss a planning strategy beyond just considering job outlook that will help protect your career pursuits in the years to come.
