In today's episode of After School, our student host Amena Salman from SFU's School of Interactive Art and Technology is joined by alum Nick Doering. Nick is a software engineer with experience in product design and user experience who currently works with electric car start-up Rivian. The two discuss learning not only in the classroom, but during co-ops and internships, navigating the complexities of a new job, and the importance of finding meaning and happiness in your work. I hope you enjoy the episode! After School is a podcast project from SFU's Faculty of Communication, Art and Technology.
