Episode 1: 

Welcome to Sincerely, Melissa Podcast where I talk about advice. FYI, my dog Jasper is present with me, you may hear him on the audio.

If I could go back in time and tell my younger self:
I know what you are thinking ... how many times have we heard this phrase or wished we only knew this or that. Well, here I am looking back at what 6 or 7 years and thinking if only I knew. If only I knew I would have trouble finding a job where my degree would be useful. If only I had chosen a different degree, would I have been more successful or would I be in the same place I am now ... jobless with disabilities trying to sort out  SSI or other sources of income? If I only knew that I needed to study more especially in Organic Chemistry, would I have passed Organic Chemistry 2 and ended up with a BS degree instead of BA. Well here I am now, I followed a degree in science because I loved science, I was not thinking about what types of jobs I could get with this degree or would this degree suit me based on my abilities or even disabilities. Maybe I should have considered other degree options, different career opportunities maybe one would have been a better fit for me. I want you to think about your current plans, do they suit you? Would they help you find a job? Would it benefit you to look at other options? If so, then talk a counselor, a friend, a family member, anyone who would listen, then make a decision that benefits you the best.

Sincerely,
Melissa
