Listen "Career experiments"
Episode Synopsis
Most of us spend THOUSANDS of dollars in uni and TAFE fees, only to get to the first day on the job to realise that actually...we don’t really like the path that we’ve chosen. Agh!
What if you could save yourself money and time wasted, by approaching your search for purpose like a scientist?
In this episode, we trade in finding what feels ‘right’ to you, for putting your assumptions about career + study choices under the microscope. So get out the goggles and gloves, welcome to the science lab of career exploration. But no, put the bunsen burner away - our science is a bit different to your Year 10 days.
Career experiments are a sure-fire way to methodically investigate your options, and use a data-driven approach to finding your dream life + job. We share a bunch of an examples (Conor is a pro at this!) and how you can design career experiments to help you get unstuck, fast.
And because we love a good segue, we chat to Arianne, an almost scientist, and 22 year old mechanical engineering student and ultimate frisbee champion. She’s also the most logical guest we’ve had on the show so far...for anyone with a numbers brain, this one’s for you!
