This week our special guest is Marisol Ibarra (she/her) who discusses the topic of adulting and life after college as a first-gen professional. Marisol Ibarra is the founder of Here Comes the Sun Podcast, where she helps first-generation students, college graduates, and professionals navigate the things that schools don’t teach. By day, Marisol is a legislative director who helps draft policy for communities of color in the state of California. She is also a proud daughter of immigrants.
In this episode, we discuss: Her experience majoring in Political Science at Cal Poly Pomona, completing a senior thesis, and studying abroad in Dubai and Hong Kong. How working a 9am to 5pm internship helped prepare her for the workforce. The post-graduation struggles of working full-time, not having a job, or going straight to grad school. Money talk surrounding how to negotiate salary and benefits as a new professional and how to budget. Time-management and self-care tips!
