  • Ms.

    I am 62 years old, was a HS art and social studies teacher for a few years before I emigrated to the USA. I have worked in the nonprofit sector for over 36 years.

    I wish information like this( the focus of this podcast) was available to me when I was in high school or college.

    This is an excellent podcast for high school and college students or anyone who is still trying to figure out a career path.
