Welcome to Twenty Something Yak with Christine Hassler.

Todays guest is Bailey Stoler, Author of “A Mistake Leads to Business School”article.

In this episode of twenty-something yak, we’re talking about how our career path is not always a straight shot, it’s often a long windy road or it’s a road with many forks in it. I discovered today’s guest and seasoned windy-road career path traveler, Bailey Stoler, by reading a business week article she wrote entitled “A Mistake Leads to Business School”.

Bailey never really planned on grad school and her path to arriving at The Cornell School of business included a cushy stop at an HR company, a “should” job at a niche PR firm, her own marketing company – but ultimately it was being surrounded by organic produce and people committed to humanitarian causes that sparked Bailey’s decision to apply to grad school. She was accepted and is now on her path to becoming as she hopes a consultant, a writer, and an entrepreneur, and going wherever the next step, and business school, leads. Listening to how she navigated her career path will offer you directions for your own journey!
