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. Whether you are part of that 75% or identify with the 25% that already has a plan, Careers: Charting Your Course will give you an insight into what different professions and jobs are really like. 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.
I hope that you will learn something new and valuable from this podcast, and I hope that each episode will bring you one step closer to uncovering your path!

Nicole Uhre-Balk: Teacher/Politician
My guest today is extra special: from being my Science teacher for three years in middle school and a Biology and Computer Science teacher for over a decade, she has since been elected to represent District 32 in the South Dakota House of Representatives! A graduate of Bethel University and Black Hills State University, Ms. Nicole Uhre-Balk won a seat in the South Dakota House of Representatives this past November, moving one step closer to her goal of “balance through a stronger two-party system.” Ultimately, Ms. Uhre’s journey has truly brought “leadership from the classroom to the Capitol,” and I am thrilled to have her here today!
