worked wonders when
I graduated in a down

me as a student because
of its focus on a real-world
education. It attracts me

We were all in the
same boat – working
at an accounting office
or business during the
day. Going to school was
tiring, especially during
tax season, but I always
liked it. All the teachers
were professional people,
so we got a practical
education as well as book
learning.
