We tend to think about our careers in a certain way. One job title, one way and then retirement. Marci Alboher has been here before and made me and my listeners think of jobs careers in a different way as slasher careers. I am an example of a slasher career – radio talk show host, life coach, and swim coach/director of youth sports team. Even when I was a college professor my title was full of slashes on the formal job description. Marci returns to talk about a new way to think about the second half of our careers. Whether it came about due to a forced layoff, re-entering the work force after caring for your family, or a deep desire to do something different.
