6ers, we all know that we only got one shot opportunity in this life but that doesn’t mean we can only live it one way. For transitioning veterans, being out of service and enrolling yourself in higher education can offer a unique opportunity to reinvent yourself. If you’re serious about it, it is an experience that can transform you to realize your full potential.
This week, Tony Nash is joined by Christine Schwartz, a military veteran and CEO at Service to School, a non-profit organization that helps service members and military veterans to gain admission to the best education possible after their service is complete. She is passionate about supporting and enabling veterans as they enter a new phase of their life.
You'll discover that as you transition there will be a lot of skills transfer that you need to align with the civilian workforce. Getting a higher education not only offers the opportunity to evolve academically but can also help you take the steps that will lead to your personal growth.
As a result, you’ll understand that navigating the tropes of a new career trajectory takes a lot of courage, time, and effort and sometimes you just have to muster up the courage to ask for help. Reinventing yourself happens with the inner self before it is reflected on the outside. It is a journey that will not only make you truly empowered but can also unlock your highest potential.
