Listen "Episode 19: Jin Chow on Humanities as a Gateway to Entrepreneurship"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome back to Yeah, I Got an F#%*ing Job with a Liberal Arts Degree.
This show is about the value of a liberal arts education. Jeff Crane, student of the liberal arts, environmental historian, and higher education administrator for the past 12 years, hosts a wide range of guests whose experiences as students of the liberal arts have shaped their lives in school, as professionals, and in their lives outside of their careers.
Today's guest is Jin Chow, who holds a BA in Comparative Literature from Princeton University and is currently a candidate for a Ph.D in Comparative Literature from Stanford University. Her areas of expertise are in 19th- and 20th-Century French Literature, Arabic Literature and Culture. She is the co-founder and COO of Polygence, which is a project-based learning platform that pairs students with Ph.D. level mentors to do research, career-discovery, and passion projects. She was included in Forbes class of 2023 30 under 30 and is a regular contributor to the publication. Her recent piece for Forbes Can A Humanistic Education Prepare You For Entrepreneurship? caught our attention a few months ago.
On today's show, Jeff and Jin discuss her background in Comparative Literature, the ideas she has around education in the United States, and what led to her starting a company at the age of 24!
