>> Ask dumb questions.
When you're young, people want to help you, so go talk to people that are, you know,
executives in companies or run their own business or have a business
that you think is neat that you want to do.
Trust me, when you graduate you don't know what you want to do.
I think, in our society, we should go work first and then go to school
so we don't waste 120,000 or whatever it is here.
But my biggest piece of advice is just be a sponge.
Soak up all the knowledge you can.
It's free when you're young, but when you get into the ranks
of a person working, it's not free anymore.
You're now competition, so soak up all the knowledge you can.
It's free.
Go talk to people who are influential.
Be involved outside of the school, which I wasn't, and I wish I was.
You know, understand what's going on in developing around town.
If you're going to be a real estate guy or a construction guy, know what's going on.
Know where the market stands.
Know what areas are booming and what's not.
You know, really read the newspaper.
Read the Denver Business Journal.
Read things.
I mean, it tells you a lot about what's going on,
and you can't just, you know, have tunnel vision.
If you want to get out and be knowledgeable and be hirable,
you need to know kind of what's going on.
So just know knowledge outside of the books.
Know what's going on, and be a sponge
