REWARDING WORK
So much of our time is spent trying to discover who we are and where we stand in life. Many of us blindly go into our college years without knowing what we will take up or what our career paths will be. Going to college straight out of high school was something that I knew I was not ready for. After I graduated high school I knew I was interested in doing a lot in life but didn’t know what.

My job as a logistician in the army already gives me minor head start as a project manager but I did not know how to connect that with the IT career goal I wanted to pursue.
