Episode 2213:
Lisa Whitley explains why leaving an investment banking job in New York to join the Peace Corps in Zimbabwe was the best career decision she ever made. She describes how two years advising new entrepreneurs showed her where her passion and skills fit in international economic development, which led to an 18-year career as a foreign service officer. She argues that a career switch does not require knowing the whole next chapter in advance, and credits earlier choices, like less expensive schools and staying free of debt, with giving her the flexibility to take the leap.

Quotes to ponder:
"It was the best career decision that I had ever made."
"The biggest obstacle to making a career switch can be the very understandable compulsion that you need to know exactly what the next chapter will look like before you take the plunge."
"But the choices that you make now can allow you the freedom to flex later."
