-: You know, I love helping others,
you know, in finding
places where I can apply compassion and leadership
to
helping younger people to find
their passion, you know, what is it that drives them?
And that's kind of difficult when you're young,
and everybody says you should have a job
when you get outta college
and you should know what you wanna do
when you go into college,
and very few of us really do,
and I was talking to Tom before
and we said, "You know, I think it's 63%
"of alumni that they've interviewed
"aren't even in the same career
"that they started in."
So, you know, my hope is,
you know, that we can find more alignment
for more young people in the jobs they love
so there's more success out of the gate.
Funding, yeah.
Patience and funding.
You know, it's not always that you
can say to a client, you know,
"Here's what my cost is,"
and they can bear that cost,
especially in a mode where we've created
a new product for an industry
that's really traditionally
not only frugal, but underfunded themselves,
so we know that we're trying to solve a big problem,
or a big challenge, I should say.
Career services has been
historically done incorrectly.
You know, if I look back to my days in college
and when we go out to,
to talk to investor groups and different forums,
you know, one of the first questions I always ask is,
"How many people in the room went
"to their career services office their freshman year?",
and you'll see, like, one lady in the back going,
"Hey, me."
But, they're not about engagement,
they're about, you know,
"Okay, let me try to get you an outcome,"
but if you forget about the first part,
right, you can't do the second part,
and so, we're turning it on its head
and we wanna democratize career services.
