Careers: Charting Your Course
"What do you want to be when you grow up?" is a question we have all been asked. But all of us might not have an answer...
Are you having a hard time deciding on a career? Encountering difficulties in finding the right path? Do you have absolutely no idea what you want your major to be? If you are struggling with any of these things, this podcast is for you.
Welcome to Careers: Charting Your Course. My name is Elina Suri, and I am delighted that you are here!
Statistics show that 75% of students in both high school and college are unsure about the field they would like to pursue.

You will meet a wide range of incredible people from all walks of life and get to learn about their journey, what they love about their career, and more.
