About this listen
After nearly two decades in marketing, Steve Sandberg felt a quiet pull toward something more meaningful. What began as curiosity became action and that ultimately led him to a high school math classroom.
In this episode of the WGU Alumni podcast, Steve shares how he walked away from a comfortable career to earn his master’s in secondary math education at WGU, navigating licensure requirements, pandemic disruptions, and the uncertainty of a mid-career pivot. Within days of graduating, he landed a teaching role at an alternative high school, where smaller classes and one-to-one instruction give students a real second chance to finish strong.
If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to change direction, Steve’s inspiring story is a reminder that it’s never too late to choose purpose.
