Uncertainty has crept into my life in the last few months. My traditional work routine is now a stay at home gig. Shared spaces have closed their doors.

I've spent most of my life within the formal confines of academia, with a clear direction for my immediate future and support from two loving parents. I'm aware of how lucky I am for this alone. I grew into an adult with many of the exterior markers of success. Yet, still, when looking towards the…
The idea of having the same job your whole life seems like a thing of the past. More often, people will have a series of different jobs over their life, sometimes even in different industries.
