Human Of All Trades
Discussing jobs and life journeys with amazing people! Human of all Trades is intended as a space for sharing our careers and how we arrived at them. No two individuals share the same path to a given endpoint, and the journey is often the best part. Whether we followed an A-to-B trajectory, fell into a passion by chance, or discovered something more meaningful on the road to another destination, this is meant to be a place to share those stories. We hope to offer insights into careers for job searchers, support for folks considering a change in direction, and the understanding that none of us has made it this far without some bumps and bruises along the way. Selfishly, we just want to hear and share the stories of friends. Community is powerful, and we would like to both celebrate ours AND expand it. Come be a part of this with us!
