Career Revisionist with Dr. Grace Lee

We have all been programmed at an early age to go to school, get good grades, and land a safe and secure job. And if there's one thing you need to know about the academic environment, it's that it is designed to give you the historical and technical knowledge focused around an offering of subjects. It's not designed to teach you how to make sense of the knowledge you've collected, how to organize it, how to apply it, and turn it into invaluable wisdom. In this episode, Dr. Grace talks about all the things that you don't learn in school. And the lack of awareness of these key pieces of knowledge is hurting your professional future.
