My first college experience.

It was the summer of 1987 when I started. Grad'd in apr. 89. . It was a tech college named RETS technical school. I didn't really learn that much useful there--but I DID get an AAS degree-which did help me in future job offerings.

Do you think that was a problem with that particular school, with where you were in life at that time, or with the technical school model in general?

I'm very fortunate in that I feel very good about my educational experiences. I worked very hard. I spent many, many hours studying for almost all of my courses, so my earning my degrees was a real accomplishment. I think the result of that work is that I'm pretty strong on the science behind what I do in the work world. I'm often discouraged when I find so many other people who didn't give the same effort and don't feel the same way.
