Ever wonder how they got from here, to there? Well now you can find out by tuning into the Career Center podcast, From Here, to There. Hosted by Career Fellows (current students!), we talk to Tufts alumni about their career journeys, how they made decisions, what they did when things didn’t go as planned, and lessons learned along the way.
Every month we bring you a new episode. This month, we talked with Jill Ford ’93 all about career paths in finance and finding your own passion.
