I had the pleasure of listening to teachers say... A word to the wise... So here are some to share for peace on earth and goodwill.

For years I have said that individual skills are increasingly as important as earning an advanced higher education degree. 

Gaining experience while pursuing a college degree is what I decided on. It allowed me to begin working and gaining experience immediately.

During my internship, I developed important skills, and on-the-job training to handle real-world problems.
