-: Ball State influenced my career a lot
in regards to building soft skills and, I think,
that's probably an interesting answer
that I'm giving, is because it's not technical at all.
So, one thing that I've noticed in industry is,
people with really strong soft skills tend
to succeed a lot faster than people that
maybe have some struggles in that area.
So Ball State has several classes, and one particular
I remember, it makes you self aware
about how you're talking to people, and how you're building
those relationships with other people.
And that, for one, for me, should be exactly
the same level of importance as your technical skills.
Most people can learn technical skills and,
we're taught when we're young to learn these skills.
Learn what the professors are telling you,
but one thing that's not really taught as much
is those soft skills, and those are the ones that
really can add to your career and help you
succeed in ways you never thought were possible.
