Welcome to the first interview episode of idk about you. We’re chatting with Hannah Ruzicka this week — a 25 year old in Oceanside, CA early on in her career in project management who serves in the Army National Guard. We dive into pressures Gen Z faces around education, careers, and identity, and how Hannah found her way through it all.
What You'll Hear:
🎯 Why Hannah joined the National Guard at 17 — and how she convinced herself before a recruiter even had to.
🔥 Her experience helping California during the LA wildfires.
🎓 The reality of college, student debt, and whether a four-year degree is worth it.
💡 The pressure to have life "figured out" as a teenager — and how Hannah embraced an unconventional path.
🛠️ The hard truth about job hunting as a Gen Z grad (and how the military both helped and hurt her search).
🎨 Rediscovering creativity after feeling stuck in the 9-to-5 grind.
