>> 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
