Graduate Feature
As a father of two boys and a business owner, Jason worried that school would not fit into his already hectic schedule. Jason states, "I am thankful that the F.I.R.S.T. School offered flexible scheduling with day and evening classes and that I didn't just graduate with the knowledge and ability to make a living in the industry, but with a new-found passion for video production and a classroom full of life-long friends." Jason is currently enrolled in the Recording Arts program and will graduate this year! You can find his company online at www.majesticdmp.com

Economy Vs. Education
If someone told you that the key to opening your door to success was an 8- month commitment to your education, followed by the dedication to your career, and your whole life would change, what would you do? It really is that simple! Quit talking about what you're going to do, and do it! Be a leader, not a follower. Take the educated risks in life that will benefit you greatly. Get your education, work with the people who want to give you the tools to succeed, and take responsibility for your actions and their out come whether it is positive or negative. Start sooner then later, and give your life the direction it needs. No, your part time minimum wage job isn't going to get you where you need to go, the cost of living isn't going to get lower, and success isn't going to knock on your door, or happen over night. You have to make a personal decision to do something about it, and then follow through! If you shoot for the moon, you will land among the stars! |
