My Surprising Experience as a Career Development Professor

Summary: In 2012, I was thrilled to become a Professor of Career Development at a national University (I'll keep the name anonymous. Why? Keep reading). I was excited to share with the students what I had learned from working in HR at a top consulting firm. I had seen many mistakes made my new hires and I didn't want others to make those same mistakes. At that time, I had been blogging for three years and I was extremely honored to get this job offer. I was jumping for joy when I got that acceptance letter. I knew that teaching and coaching others fulfilled me and I wanted more of these opportunities.   I wanted to teach students how to figure out what their dream job was, get hired at their dream job and then have successful and happy careers.
