-: The Millersville education helped me tremendously.
It opened my eyes up to a whole world
of safety, health and environmental,
frankly that I didn't know existed.
I probably, like a lot of people,
kind of fell into the intro course of the major.
And I said, this is great, I mean there's
a little bit of science, a little bit of math,
a little bit of physics, a little bit of legal,
a little bit of chemistry, a little bit of everything,
and that really fascinated me.
And the opportunity to really
make a difference in people's lives.
So that was a great opportunity for me.
Plus we got to light stuff on fire,
so that's not a bad experience either.
So that gave me a great background
of understanding and learning
what I was probably gettin' myself into.
And it made me realize that I was gonna have to take
a lot of responsibility for my education after school.
Because a lot of college programs, I mean,
they're givin' you what they can cram into four years.
And then the learning has to start after that.
So I think it helped me realize that,
while it gave me a great basic education, if you will,
and foundation to build upon,
I was gonna need to do a lot more on my own,
to learn about whatever business,
whatever industry I got into.
I landed in insurance and over the last,
you know, 22 years it's been, I spent a lot of time
continuing to learn and continuing to educate myself.
