Podcasts about gap years

Is the traditional path to college really the best choice for every student? What if college isn't the best next step? In this episode, Riley Simpson joins Russ and Joey to share how taking a gap year led to clarity, career success, and personal growth. Riley discusses the growing trend of gap years as a viable alternative to college, offering students the opportunity to explore different careers, build skills, and gain self-awareness without the pressure of choosing a major. He also highlights the anxiety students face when forced to pick a direction too early and offers practical advice on how a gap year can be a purposeful and transformative journey, rather than just a break. Discover how this alternative education path not only benefits students but also helps them develop the clarity to make better decisions for their futures.Top three things you will learn: -Breaking free from college pressure-Building clarity-Preparing for the futureAbout Our Guest:Riley Simpson has had a fascinating trajectory. He took two gap years before going to college, during which he became a mediator, broke into the film industry, became a real estate broker, started and sold a business (Right Hand Media), and then entered the tech industry.

What we're talking about: Should you take a gap year after Year 12? It's a big decision, and in this episode, I break down the benefits and drawbacks of taking a year off before further study. I also share practical advice on how to keep your options open, even if you're unsure about your next steps. 1:09 Common concerns about taking a gap year I've had a lot of conversations with parents recently about whether a gap year is the right choice for their child. Many students don't know whether they should still apply for courses through VTAC, or if taking a gap year will impact their future plans. In this episode, I share my thoughts on how to approach this decision. 3:28 The benefits of taking a gap year There are plenty of good reasons to take a gap year, including: Taking a break – After 13 years of school, it makes sense to want some time off before starting further study. Travel opportunities – Exploring new places and cultures, or working overseas through programs like Camp America. Earning money – Getting a full-time job to save for university, travel, or other goals. Career exploration – Using the year to try jobs in industries you're interested in, so you get a feel for what you might want to study. 5:39 The drawbacks of taking a gap year Some students worry that if they take a gap year, they'll never go back to study. While that's not always true, there are some things to consider: Losing the study habits you've built over the years. Feeling like you're behind your friends who go straight to university. Starting uni with students who are younger and still in a “VCE mindset.” 9:54 How to keep your options open Even if you're planning to take a gap year, I strongly recommend applying for VTAC courses now and securing a spot. Most courses allow deferral, so you can take your gap year with peace of mind, knowing you have a place waiting for you. It's also much easier to do this while you still have access to school resources like career counselors and scholarship applications. 13:23 Final advice: Plan now, decide later There's no right or wrong answer when it comes to taking a gap year—it's a personal choice. But having a plan in place (even if you're unsure) will make your gap year experience smoother and more enjoyable. Links mentioned: Work with me: https://www.roadmapeducation.com/services

Facing the daunting test reinforced the need for mental fortitude, prompting Jahnvi to pause and recalibrate through work as a medical scribe and focused mental health efforts. He unveils strategies that turned his test anxieties into triumphs, including therapy and breathing workshops. This period of introspection not only empowered Jahnvi to attain a successful MCAT score but also illuminated the value of gap years for gaining real-world insight before plunging into the medical school application marathon.Jahnvi's transition from biomedical engineering to medicine highlights the gritty realities of medical school applications, from exhaustive essay writing to the financial strains of applying broadly. He advises embracing a more strategic approach, advocating for focused applications and better time management. As we chart Jahnvi's acceptance journey, the emotional whirlwind of interviews, and eventual med school offers, we delve into the ongoing battle with impostor syndrome and the strides made in mental health. Jahnvi leaves us with a powerful message: belief in oneself can illuminate the path through the shadows of adversity, guiding aspirants toward their medical dreams.

Send us a textMeg and Bobby are joined by Tammy Dorsett, co-founder of The Gap at Sawmill Meadow. Tammy discusses how her family supported her son's transition away from college and his path to relaunching into the world with purpose and responsibility. This experience inspired the creation of The Gap at Sawmill Meadow, a faith-based program designed to help emerging adults who aren't yet ready for college or the workforce make the most of a purposeful "Gap Year" to prepare for the future. They are doing the beautiful work in helping new adult practice how to be before they decide what to do. About The Gap at Sawmill MeadowConnect on InstagramConnect on Facebook Resources For ParentsBarna Impact 360 ReportAbout Tammy Tammy Dorsett co-founded The Gap at Sawmill Meadow with her husband of 29 years, Matt Dorsett. Through Matt and Tammy's personal story with their oldest child, they realized that the “normalized” path after high school is often not the best path for all new adults. After a long career as a physical therapist in many different settings, she felt called to move into the nonprofit space to start a faith-based, structured, Gap Year option that is financially accessible to all new adults who are bold enough to consider a different path. Tammy and Matt have three children who are new adults. Tammy has served at her church in various capacities over the past 27 years, most recently co-leading a community group of newly married adults. Tammy loves all things cooking and loves exercising outdoors – especially at the beach or in the mountains. About Empowered Homes Who we are?
