Insight 3: You Are Not Your Degree, Career, or Industry.

September 12, 2024 • Ashley Linkewich

In this week's quick insight episode, I dive into the critical topic of identity beyond degrees, careers, and industries. I emphasise that you are not defined by your educational background or job title, but rather your ability to leverage transferable skills, and pursue what makes you truly happy. I chat about avoiding the sunk cost fallacy and why time and money spent shouldn't hold you back from changing paths.
