Special Episode: Live Career Counseling Session. In this episode, MJ shares the crossroads she's facing in her career and educational goals. You'll get to hear a career counseling session where we dive deep into academia and the differences between an EdD or PhD while navigating the complexities of a quarter-life crisis. Armine guides the session with questions on mentorship, external validation, and personal ambition to help MJ process this big decision.

The episode culminates with a candid discussion on the emotional and practical implications of choosing between a PhD and an EdD. MJ deliberates over the impact of such transformative decisions on a two-income household, contemplating potential pay adjustments and the broader consequences of each educational path. We also ponder the nuances of representation within academia and the tangible effects of our work beyond the confines of educational accolades. Join us for a deep dive into the soul of career counseling, where deliberate thought meets the courage to pursue one's true calling.
