If you have spent your life in school like this:

| Kindergarten | 2 |
| Grade school | 6 |
| High school | 4 |
| Undergrad | 5 |
| Graduate studies | 2 |
This is the number of years I spent in school.
…you have spent almost one-third of your life in school, assuming a 75-year life-span.
Podcast highlights
- “I was taught that if I will just ace the exams and get high grades, I will be successful enough to land a job, secure tenure, and live a stress-free retirement. Schools taught me how to find a job, but times are changing, and the workplace evolving.”
- “Like they always say, the map is not the territory. But I was too focused on familiarizing the map only to be unequipped to navigate the realities of adulthood. I thought that hoarding information will help me find my way through living life. But no one can outwit the internet. I realized that what matters is what you do with all the things you have learned. Because it’s not about collecting dots. It’s more about connecting the dots.“
