Why is Money Such a Driving Factor of Our Career?

Does money or our career come first? As a society we're told to do what we love, chase our dreams but also make sure we are financially secure. So, is it possible to do both? Find out in our podcast episode.

Overview: 

The link between money and our career is one that we think is applicable to absolutely everyone in some shape or form. And it's a topic that we're sent mixed messages about growing up and as we continue on the journey that is life.

Society tells us that we should build a career that pays well, but also that chasing money is ‘money hungry' and not something to be proud of. So, which one is it?
