In this episode, Larry & Dawne discuss the differences they had following Larry's traditional career path with a college degree vs. Dawne's, without a college degree. Dawne dives into the challenges she came up against while trying to climb the corporate ladder, but also how that instilled in her a strong determination and work ethic to succeed.
They then dive into the dynamic that took place during Covid between the applicants and HR leaders as the job market shifted from massive layoffs to the accelerated demand for hiring quality candidates.
They discuss how the career landscape has evolved for both their children and themselves providing additional options beyond pursuing a career that requires a college degree. These are the traditional trades, such as plumbing, electrical and HVAC, as well as the creator economy, which has boomed since Covid in which anyone with a purpose, a set of skills that solves a specific need, and a laptop, can launch a business from anywhere and reach a global audience.
We hope you enjoy it!
