I have had the opportunity to either attend, teach or lead just about every type of higher education institution and I find that working in the career college industry to be the most rewarding. Our students are "at risk" . . . not at risk in that they can't do the required work, but at risk in that they are usually trying to achieve their higher education goals while balancing a full time job and often a family. If a student uses their precious free time to go to school, they have higher ambitions to become more than what they are right now. Our job as a career college is to best streamline their path so they can reach their ambitions in the straightest line possible. I, too, love my job and I hope my students know that by how I act.
