Two weeks from today, Jo VanEvery and I are starting another round of our Choosing Your Career Consciously course. If you’re wondering what, besides academia, you could do with your life, we’d love for you to join us.
We started the class because we kept encountering smart, talented, skilled people who were convinced that they weren’t worth anything outside of academia. They’d say they had no experience or training or ability to do anything else, and so they felt either doomed to stay or completely at sea out there in the non-academic world.
But they aren’t doomed to stay in academia, nor were they actually rudderless in the non-academic world. And neither are you.
Academia can make us believe that it’s the only job we’re fit for, that it’s the only place that will make us happy. Occasionally, that’s true. But only occasionally. Most of the time, in fact, there’s a whole set of interesting, fulfilling, compelling, righteous jobs and careers that you would rock.
Finding that set, though, that’s where people get stuck. And that’s what this class addresses. We help you figure out what you have to offer, what kinds of jobs and situations you’re actually interested in, and where those jobs might be hiding.
If you’re considering leaving academia but don’t know what else you could possibly do, join us for this six-week class. We would love to help you find out. Just click here to find out more and sign up.
