Key Insights

🔑 It is okay to pursue a career unrelated to your degree as long as you identify transferable skills and have the confidence to give it a try. This opens up more opportunities for personal growth and happiness.

🔑 Transferable skills, such as communication, emotional intelligence, and critical thinking, are highly valued in any job or industry. Focusing on these skills can help you rebrand and repackage your value to potential employers.
 

🔑 Soft skills are often overlooked but are foundational to corporate success. These skills can be developed and honed regardless of your degree or industry, making them highly valuable in any career transition.

🔑 Waiting for 100% confidence or the perfect job will only hold you back. Taking the first step, even with 60-70% confidence, is crucial for growth and learning. Don’t let analysis paralysis prevent you from exploring new career opportunities.
