Description

In this poignant episode, I sit down with an anonymous guest who defied the odds as the first in her family to attend college. Her journey unfolds into the stark realities of academia, where despite warnings about the slim chances of securing a full-time position, she found herself juggling adjunct roles at three different schools just to make ends meet. Join us as our guest courageously sheds light on the complexities of navigating the dream of higher education while grappling with the harsh economic realities. It's a raw and honest conversation that unveils the resilience and determination required to thrive in the face of adversity.
