Jan Lowe was raised in a small Nebraska community where she played the piano for the high school choir. She pursued a degree in Music Education and was in the first year of her teaching career when she realized it was not a good match. Fortunately, after obtaining additional education and a Master’s Degree in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling, she found an alternative career which was more fulfilling than teaching as she was able to work with individual clients rather than a classroom of students.
Building on her vocational rehabilitation counseling experiences, she became specialized in vocational assessment and courtroom testimony as a vocational expert which is very satisfying work. She is the co-founder of CareerCode and a published author. She has pursued a private practice in Minneapolis dating from 1978 at Rehabilitation Counselors, Inc. a business she owns.
