Should members of Generation Y join startups after college? I debated this topic with career advice expert and author Shawn Graham awhile back.

About Me

My name is Ryan Paugh and I'm the Director of Community and Co-Founder of Brazen Careerist. Consider me your go-to guy for helping you get the most out of being a member.

If you told me in college that social media was going to change my life, I probably would have told you that you're crazy. After a short stint in Corporate America, that all changed when I teamed up with Penelope Trunk and Ryan Healy to create a new way for my generation to manage their careers.

To learn more about what I do here at Brazen Careerist, follow me on our Team Brazen Careerist Blog. Or, get a little more personal at my own website: ryanpaugh.com.
