#14 Figuring Out Your Post-School Path

Published: Nov. 30, 2020, 2 a.m.

"What do you want to be when you grow up?"

We have all got a version of this question and while some may have certainty, many do not. Learning from her own struggles in attempting to answer this question, 18-year-old Hannah Ahn created YCompass, a platform to help students make more informed decisions about their future.

It's not her first project to help students pave a smoother path beyond school as she is also the co-founder of Yakka.

We chat with Hannah about how she set up Yakka and YCompass and how students can find their own path without feeling the pressure of doing what parents or teachers think they should do.

Host's Notes:
Hannah is a great example of working on a solution to a problem that millions of students around the world are facing. Her insights into the entrepreneurial side of what it takes to start an organisation and her student-to-student advice is well worth a listen!
