You Don’t Need the “Right” Degree (How to Build a Career You Love)

Описание: In this episode, I sit down with Cristen McQuillan, Director of Creative Careers at The College of William and Mary to talk about how careers actually unfold, and why you don’t need the “right” degree to build a career you love.

Cristen shares her own non-linear career journey, from corporate marketing into higher education, and how she now helps students explore creative careers, develop transferable skills, and find opportunities, even when they don’t feel fully qualified.

We talk about:
Why your degree doesn’t define your career path
How to use transferable skills to change careers or industries
Ways to gain experience when you have none
How to break into creative careers without a traditional background
Why careers only make sense in reverse

If you’ve been holding yourself back because you don’t feel “qualified enough,” this episode will help you see your experience in a new way, and give you the confidence to take the next step.

You don’t need the perfect background. You just need to start connecting the dots.
