Hi, my name is Teland, and I'm a high schooler who is interested about different jobs. On this podcast, I'll be interviewing different people who have different careers and sharing them with you to educate people about the interesting things we do to make a living. We will go over normal "run of the mill" jobs but also unique careers, how people got into the job, what they do on a daily basis, and more.
