THAT SOUNDS FUN NETWORK
About this episode

Co-host of the incredible Degree Free Podcast Hannah Maruyama joins us to explore different paths to success in life, with or without a college degree.

Hannah shares her journey of "breaking out" of college, finding work that defies traditional expectations, and navigating the job market with strategic, passion-driven choices. We discuss the pitfalls of student debt, the realities of today’s job market, and why the first years after high school are critical for taking calculated risks. Discover some of the hidden costs of higher education as well as practical advice for pursuing work that aligns with your life goals. Tune in to learn why following your passion should come after securing financial stability and how paid apprenticeships can offer a promising alternative to a conventional college education. This episode is packed with insights for parents and young adults alike, challenging the status quo and offering a fresh perspective on building a successful future.
