Description
Welcome to the Joust About Careers Podcast. I’m your host, Brian Bratt, and I’m a career advisor and English teacher at Van Buren High School. I’ve seen too many people spend a lot of money and time working toward careers they don’t enjoy or that don’t help them achieve the purposes they have identified for their lives, and I want to make sure that doesn’t happen to anyone else, whether it’s a high schooler or someone approaching retirement. I hope that listening to these episodes will help you make better career decisions and lead to a fulfilling career journey.
