Professional Development: Chris McGee on getting off the path to find it more clearly

Guest Chris McGee loved science--even lab work--but it was really the story behind the science that captivated him. He thought that probably meant being in the biotechnology industry, but wasn't exactly sure how that would manifest in his life right after college. In an early attempt, he realized he was too far removed from the impact of the work. At the next company, he was getting closer to the actual work, but it wasn't the kind of work I wanted to be doing. At that point, the suggestion from a friend to pack it up and take an adventure to Nepal provided the welcome break he needed. He extended his adventuring with another friend but finally decided to move across the country for both professional and professional reasons.

In this episode, find out from Chris out how momentarily getting off the path you’re on—even the right one—sometimes lets you travel it more wisely…on Roads Taken with Leslie Jennings Rowley.
