Hey there, listener! In this episode of "i" statement, I talked about my favorite job to this day, despite being employed in my desired field and at a public, research university, at that. I do like what I do now, and the work I do is rewarding. However, I can't deny the fact that my part-time job that I had during the summer before my senior year of high school, the summer before college, and during the early months of the pandemic was the most rewarding, supportive, and shaping job I have ever had. Attitudes around part-time jobs and experiences that are unrelated to your major or desired career path are often downplayed and deemed insignificant, when in reality, they are often are primitive experiences in working with people, dealing with conflict, completing tasks, and managing many things at once. We should be praising these experiences, not dismissing them. Thanks for listening✨
