Know-How Exchange : Career/Training

Dear Eva,

Everyone in the United States who is not in some way a blood
relative of a Native American is from somewhere else.

Maybe not directly, but in their past, a relative moved to the land
of the free and the home of the brave to live a better life.

I came here from the UK just over 10 years ago. I don't have
a marketing qualification or an advanced degree to my name.
I've never attended a marketing class as such, but that hasn't
stopped me from becoming a top 25 contributor to this forum.

What you focus on is what you'll achieve.

If the program you are entering is right for you and you can bring
value to the lives of other people, go for it and give it all you've got.

Allow no one to stand in your way. Be brilliant. Give it your all.

Become the best you can possibly become. Stand on tippy-toes and reach for the stars. For, when we have such opportunities and we do
not take them, we live lives of regret and "if only".

Your career goals are only as limited as your imagination. As the economy stabilizes (as it will over the next three years or so), and
as you go out into the world with your new skills you'll be ideally
placed to create value.

So, go for it! And good luck to you.
