Whether you are entering college or have been there a while, here’s the question to ask: How can you maximize the college experience — taking full advantage of the opportunities and the people that this phase of life offers — then use that learning to find a career path that fascinates and fulfills you over a lifetime?

And if you have graduated, how do you keep those dreams alive while adapting them as you change and the employment world around you shifts as well?

In this episode of the college's , we talk to researchers who study how higher education impacts people, the economics of education choices and how people shape careers over their lifespan.

Featuring Erik Porfeli, Drew Hanks, Matthew Mayhew and Ikenna Achilihu.

Ohio State Hospitality Management alum Frank Chen became one of the youngest general managers of a full-service Hilton property in the U.S.

Raised in a Chinese cultural tradition, Chen absorbed the principles of welcome and care through his upbringing. He views hospitality as deeply human and values-driven and appreciates Ohio State’s program for blending operational rigor with human-centered service.

“To me, this is one of the best hospitality programs in the nation,” Chen said. “It’s small enough to be personal, but big enough to have real resources.”

Chen emphasizes the support he received during his early career. He now serves on the program’s Hospitality Management Advisory Board, where he contributes his time and passion to helping students navigate early career decisions, explore unconventional paths and gain confidence.
