Career Path
What was your first job after college and how did you get it?
Worked in radio and television sales. I just walked in and applied for the job. No special talents.

How did you get your current job?
Was recruited by the Board of Directors

What experiences and/or course work in college best prepared you for this job or influenced your decision to do this work?
My sociology classes. I love people and what they do.

Any regrets? What experiences and/or course work might have better prepared you for this work?
How to win friends and influence mean people... Once in a while, people serve their own needs first and knowing that now, I would have worked harder to understand why people do what they do. Maslow and Freud did not have all of the answers.

Have you attended graduate school or are you considering graduate school? What degree do you have/would you want and why? Are there any limitations to advancement in your field if you do not have a certain graduate degree?
I have attended for specific classes. If I were to return for a degree, I would look into sociology and law to possibly pass the bar and work on legal issues facing the less served public.
