>> Absolutely something that interacts with alumni.
I think it's so tough when you're in the college environment to understand
that there's -- that this is a very safe bubble.
This is very protected, insular, regimented disciplined bubble
and that it's not so once you're out of here.
I would also say that the courses that I took did inadvertently help me but more
because of the soft skills and not necessarily because of the content.
Because obviously I don't do a lot of poly sci [phonetic] in my current world
but things like being a quick researcher.
Understanding the legal system still helps me as I deal with contracts and lawyers all day.
Understanding that public speaking whether you like it or not is often a big part
of what your presumption is in the corporate world.
If you are willing to make big presentations and you can manage that stress,
it very much accelerates your growth because it gives you more face time.
And when you're good at presenting,
it also lends the perception of you being smart and capable.
Whether that's right or not.
So a little bit of that acting always come in handy.
And I would say that I wish I had taken more basic skill courses here
like Excel courses even Photoshop or PowerPoint type courses.
Anything that lends itself to communicating effectively because I think
that is really crucial no matter what industry you go in and I had to really kind
of teach myself and learn on the go.
