“This Morning is my morning ritual of four years, I listen while walking my dog around the neighborhood. In a polarized world of spin, this podcast stays un-sensational and objective without taking sides. Julie on the Job content is especially relevant as a millennial navigating this job market. Julie Bauke’s insights on the Podcast that aired October 23, 2023, bore sufficient resonance and perspicacity to inspire review. Julie “gets” what my generation is going through. Her observation of a “Boomer Bias” is spot on and I don’t hear many in the media articulating this perspective so clearly. We millennials were sent off to college by Boomer parents and counselors who passively expected us to just figure out our gifting, life purpose, and career path the day we arrived on campus with shower shoes and Ikea furniture. Turns out, college is an expensive place to figure out what to do with one’s life and America has a $1.6 trillion loan crisis as evidence. As Julie said, Boomers expected a college degree to magically transform into gainful employment but, depending on the field of study, graduates find they can be walking a plank into a job market abyss, especially in fields that don’t require a degree. Julie’s segment today encouraged me that I am not alone in feeling frustrated with the unrealistic expectations on the value of a 4-year degree in the marketplace. She provided timely and cost-efficient alternatives to liberal arts education. To despondent millennials re-thinking their field of study after a decade of professional experience, she instilled hope that meaningful work exists. Thank you for providing relevant content from expert contributors with the caliber of Julie Bauke.”
