How to Create the Life You Want to Live

Everyone wants to land their dream job but it can be complicated. Many people don't know where to start or what their dream job truly is. Pairing passion and work isn't a straight line, as discussed in our previous Well-Rounded Student webinar.

In How to Create the Life and Career You Envision, we got into the weeds on how to discover what it is you want to do and the approach you should take to accomplish it. 

Marnix Broer, co-founder and CEO of StuDocu, shared how he achieved the life he dreamed of, and how he continues to work toward a future he still envisions for himself. 

Below, you'll get a glimpse into:

  • The importance of setting short- and long-term goals.
  • How to translate your passion into a career.
  • Why failing isn’t always a bad thing.
  • The need for real-world experience to succeed. 
  • Whether or not money equates to happiness. 

Check out these clips to help you take the next step toward your goals and to continue to be a Well-Rounded Student.
