This week our special guest is Marisol Ibarra (she/her) who discusses the topic of adulting and life after college as a first-gen professional. Marisol Ibarra is the founder of Here Comes the Sun Podcast, where she helps first-generation students, college graduates, and professionals navigate the things that schools don’t teach.

In this episode, we discuss: Her experience majoring in Political Science at Cal Poly Pomona, completing a senior thesis, and studying abroad in Dubai and Hong Kong. How working a 9am to 5pm internship helped prepare her for the workforce. The post-graduation struggles of working full-time, not having a job, or going straight to grad school.
