    The Reschool'd Podcast

    Are you or a loved one considering going to college, in-college, or about to leave college? Well, if you're like the rest of us, there are things that you'll wish "THEY" (whoever that may be) had told you - but didn't. But, thank heavens they taught you the Pythagorean Theorem, right!!"? Well, we're here to tell you some of those things - and so much more! Welcome to the Reschool'd Podcast with the hosting duo of AJ and Jason. We're a couple of former students, current college professors, and current or former mentors to hundreds of students. We come from very different backgrounds, but we understand the ins and outs of the decision to go to college, college life (and most things related thereto), grad school, and your professional careers. Spend some time with us, and we'll tell you many of the things that THEY should've taught you (in high school, in college, in grad school) - but never did. It's a mix of "this is how school works", "tips on how to get the most out of school", and "things you're probably gonna do or have to figure out while in or after school". We'll also share the real-life experience from our college and teaching careers (some more embarrassing than others) ... all while keeping it laid-back and entertaining. Continue your life learning with new episodes every Monday morning! Learn more at http://reschoold.com.
