Kylie Kelce, the wife of former Eagles star Jason Kelce, gave some pragmatic advice to graduates of her alma mater: Fake it till you make it. Kelce, 32, graduated from Cabrini University in 2017. The university, located about 40 minutes outside of Philadelphia, is closing down indefinitely after this past school year.
After joking that the students are suffering through adversity by drawing the fifth-biggest Kelce as their commencement speaker and explaining her own journey that saw her switch career paths away from trying to be a physical education teacher (for which there are few openings because they never leave) to transfer into Cabrini University, she provided some words of wisdom. “Switching my major and changing schools are the primary example of figuring it out as you go,” Kelce said. “The stats say that one-third of college students change their major at least once, and inevitable uncertainty probably won’t end after college.
