Career
College teaches you a lot, but it doesn’t teach you everything you need to succeed in life after college.
That’s where we come in!
Welcome to Post-Grad Compass!
Post-Grad Compass is your home for tips and resources in navigating your post-college career…and life.
At Post-Grad Compass, I want to bring you some of these reflections and some tips, and give you a chance to share your own stories.
About Me
I’m Jacques, a college grad who, since walking across the commencement stage, has:
- worked nearly a dozen jobs in different organizations,
- learned how to cook at home, get out of debt, save for retirement, and upgrade my finances,
- experienced adventures, personal growth, and evolutions in relationships
Along the way, I’ve learned tips and lessons from books, from friends and mentors, and sometimes from my own mistakes. I’ve also had hundreds of conversations with college students and recent grads and learned from their accomplishments, and their challenges.
How to navigate Post-Grad Compass:
Check out the blog for posts in three main areas:
