I spent too much time working three different jobs, of which one was full-time as the youngest operations manager and sales manager for one of the largest logistics companies in the U.S. Although I feel fortunate to have had these early career experiences, I wish I had spent more time focused on my college education. These careers did offer me gainful financial benefits, as well as, knowledge for my business career and quite frankly my adult college career as well. The problematic side of these jobs were the long hours that distracted from my college education pursuits.
Fast forward to today, I have supported my wife while she is finishing her Bachelor’s degree from the University of South Carolina Online. She has but three classes to complete her degree in Business with an emphasis in Human Resources Management. I could not be more proud of here! Her career experiences, coupled with her college education have provided her the opportunity to have been recently promoted to the position of Director of Human Resources at the wonderful resort, The Broadmoor here in Colorado
