College might be something that gets you exactly where you need to be in a career that fits you perfectly. It might be just a stepping stone to allow you to realize that you want to pursue something else that doesn’t require college. Or you might even find that college isn’t in the equation at all.
Carsten McCarter, an LCDC-II, co-founder of Lean In Recovery and founder of Fireseed Adventure Therapy Guide School, finds his sense of bliss in helping young men who find themselves lost and stuck in launching back into their life after addiction. And that sense of bliss didn’t come from a college degree. Carsten once found himself in the same shoes as the young men he works with and found a passion for working in the field during his time in treatment. It was at that time when he decided to put the rest of schooling aside and dive fully into what he finds purpose in. As you can see, Carsten is staying very busy in his field creating many resources for young adults and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
On this episode of Success is Subjective, Carsten joins Joanna to share his journey going from a lost addict to a founder of multiple treatment centers for young men. If it weren’t for Carsten’s own experience with addiction, he wouldn’t have found such a huge passion for working with young men in treatment and might still be lost in a career/degree. Listen in for Carsten’s insight on how important finding your bliss is, whether that means college is the answer or not.
