Episode 55: What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?

BullCast

An age-old question that we’ve all been asked, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” suggests our childhood passions always turn into our adult occupations. But we all know this is not the case; otherwise, the world would only have police officers, firefighters, astronauts, and paleontologists. The truth is, life is a maze of doors where some are open, some are closed, and some take you to places you’d never imagine. Today’s episode centers around “Boomerang Kids” – children who come back home after college – and why this generation of young adults has a difficult time finding or committing to a career. We’ll break down some impressive statistics about career changes in today’s society and why getting a degree is not always the answer. With the rise of workforce development programs and the destigmatization of trade schools, it’s more important than ever to teach our kids that there are other paths to consider. Join us as we talk soft skills vs. hard skills, taking a “gap” year, high-paying jobs that don’t require a four-year degree, plus much more!
