Today, we build upon our discussion from episode 106, “Certainty is Rare: How to Prepare Beyond Job Outlook.” While having a holistic approach to life and career planning is important, having concrete steps to take to provide security for our futures is also important as well.

When considering careers or preparing for a career change, we oftentimes want to be as certain as possible we're pursuing a field that'll offer strong opportunities for employment as well as opportunities for growth and promotion into new positions with greater pay. Even when we do our research and choose a career with strong indicators of continuous growth, however, this still doesn't mean that our success is guaranteed. In today's episode we review a couple of examples in which industries traditionally known for their security have actually had to lay employees off due to unforeseen circumstances caused by the economy. Then, we discuss a planning strategy beyond just considering job outlook that will help protect your career pursuits in the years to come.

You may have heard the saying that we all have the same 24 hours in a day. Yet, we know that some seem to get a lot done while others seem to get very little done in this same amount of time.

Wat hebben het gebrek aan zware muziek op Lowlands, internetracisme richting Stromae, culturele toe-eigening door AI-rappers, gruizige verledens van metalconcertboekers en hardcoretriootjes gemeen? Het zijn allemaal onderwerpen die niet worden besproken in de nieuwe aflevering van Osmium, de zwaarste podcast in het Nederlands. Althans, dat is wat presentatoren Pim en Niels claimen. Of dat ook daadwerkelijk zo is… Wat wel als de gigantische, uitzwenkende hijskraan van Stromae boven water staat, is dat er gediscussieerd wordt over de verwantschap tussen klassieke en metalen muziek. Hierna volgen de Osmium presentatoren het witte konijn en duiken ze vol de Matrix in. Wat volgt is een clairvoyante en dystopische visie op computergegenereerde muziek. Wat heeft een AI te zoeken in de metalscene? Misschien wel meer dan je denkt… Met muziek van, hoe kan het ook anders, het Noord Nederlands Orkest en Stromae.

Today, we round out our discussion of embracing self-awareness and self-acceptance (in episode 98) while also considering the fact that various jobs and career fields offer different pay (episode 99) with a solution for those considering a career in traditionally lower paying fields: increase your income by creating a portfolio of work. We also review previous guests who have adopted this approach to give examples of how anyone might pursue this path as well. Mentioned in this episode: Episode 74 with Dr. Brandy L. Simula Episode 21 with Jeanne Sparrow Episode 39 with Steven L.

In this episode, we discuss the hard fact that salaries vary across industries. Therefore, it's important to consider this reality when choosing a job. Doing so ensures the career you choose will support the lifestyle you want to have. At the same time, however, pay shouldn't be the only factor you consider when deciding on a career. We review salary projections for the Class of 2022 as well as average salaries across various majors and compare them to college students' expectations. Then, we take a look at an example of the potential consequence of choosing a career based on pay and prestige when said career isn't in alignment with your personal values.

In this episode, we take a pause from discussing career-focused topics to revisit a topic introduced in episode 8: developing and embracing self-awareness.
