The journey between what you thought you needed to know, and what you know now. Was your tuition wasted, or worth it?
Interviews about the life lessons learned beginning with what people studied or concentrated on in school. Did what you learned in school lead you along your intended path? What impact did your field of study have on where you are now?

COMMUNICATIONS
Series kickoff. We start with me interviewing myself about my major: Communication Arts and Sciences.
From my less than enthusiastic desire for school, to working 65 hours a week in blue collar jobs, to pursuing a diploma (not an education), how I chose my major, and the opportunities it ended up making available to me, are a world apart. My major laid the groundwork for either a creative job or a corporate job; listen to learn which path I chose, and where it led me.
Was my education worth it, or wasted? What about yours?
