The first episode of the Joust About Careers podcast for the 2023-2024 school year features a conversation with Bret Nye, a 2007 Van Buren High School graduate who is a writer and journalist and is currently the Community Editor at The Courier. In the interview, Bret shares about how a typical day looks for him (hint - no day is typical in journalism), why he has multiple master's degrees, the positive and negative aspects of journalism careers, and much more. Anyone interested in pursuing a career as an author or journalist will find information related to starting down those paths in this episode.
