# 11.1 Post-Bachelor Career Jumpstart with Pare
In this episode, I'm excited to introduce you to Pare, one of the iconic figures I met during the first week on campus. It's always intriguing to hear stories about people finding their best friends at university right from day one. For me, that person was Pare, with whom I navigated my entire bachelor's journey side by side. After our bachelor's degrees, our paths diverged - Pare ventured into the industry, starting as a trainee, while I embarked on my master's degree. Today's episode will explore the possibility of diving straight into work after completing a bachelor's degree, shedding light on the transition from academia to the professional world.
