Raise your hand if you don't know the answer to these questions: Do you know your credit score? Do you know what the 50, 30, 20 rule is? Do you know what a 401k is? If you fall in this category of college students that don’t know the answers, don’t be alarmed. Many college students know nothing about financial literacy because it’s not taught to the general public.  So, I invited expert financial educator Angel Radcliffe to talk about basic budgeting topics all college students should know, such as the aforementioned credit score and 50, 30, 20 rule. In this episode, Angel and I discuss financial literacy regarding student loans, credit cards, bank loans, and rent and provide basic financial tips to help you save money. So, tune in if you raised your hand for any of these questions because this episode is for you! And, don’t forget to visit Angel’s website and podcast! Want us to help you with your career?

Have you ever met someone and said to yourself, “That person will change the world?” That was my first thought when I met Joe Knopp. From our first conversation, I knew that I had to be part of his life and help him reach his full potential.  Joe is not your average Joe. He is a serial entrepreneur, full of energy and drive to make an impact. He spent all of his savings on 2,000 bottles in the hope that he can sell them and use the profits to build a water well.  For every Ripple Bottle you buy, you help provide clean water to someone in need. Every time you get to enjoy your clean water from a Ripple Bottle, you can feel grateful that you were able to help someone on the other side of the world have clean water too.  There's more to Joe than just his company Ripple, so I invite you to get to know him during this episode of the Mastering College to Career podcast!  And don’t forget to get your own Ripple Bottle!

LinkedIn family, I need your help! I want to bring awareness to one of the coolest internships available to the Hispanic community, so please help me by tagging college students that might be interested!  The internship is with the Congressional Hispanic Leadership Institute and is a semester-long internship program, featuring placement in Congressional and corporate legislative affairs offices. Students will gain educational and hands-on experience with project-based public policy programs. The program will take place in the fall semester.  In my opinion, it is like doing two internships in one.  This fantastic opportunity will allow students to live in Washington, D.C paid for by CHLI, and build relationships that will change your life.  I am a big fan of this organization and what they are trying to do. That is why I did a podcast episode with their president and CEO, Mary Ann Gomez Orta, to talk about this fantastic opportunity.  I have left a link to apply in the comments and a link to the full episode.  If you are reading this and don’t think this is for you, then don’t be selfish and tag a friend who might be interested in this fantastic opportunity.  Link to learn more and apply for the internship: https://www.chli.org/gl-application Want us to help you with your career?
