I Got the Biology Degree. Then What?

I went to the University of Tampa planning to become a doctor. By the time I graduated with my biology degree, I’d let go of med school and spent so much energy getting to graduation that I’d barely thought about what came after it. In this episode of IN THE KNOW with Tony Reeves, I talk about how telemarketing, a summer RA job, and Army officer training kept me busy while I put off a question I needed to ask myself. It finally caught up with me on the drive back to Florida, where a friend was letting me sleep on his couch. My first boss had been a biology major, too, and he gave me room to try different kinds of work and discover what I actually enjoyed. If you’ve ever reached a goal and felt proud of what you did and unsure of what came next, this episode is for you. Call to action If you’re in your own “then what?” moment, pick up my e-book, Lost, Broke, and Figuring It Out: My First Year After College. I share what that year looked like while I was living it, from trying to cover my car payment to figuring out what kind of work I wanted to do. You’ll find the link in the show notes.
