Today I interviewed a 24 year-old that is starting one of his most exciting opportunities and here is what he told me: 1) A year ago no one could have told him that this kind of opportunity could be a reality for his life 2) The accounting course that I created made things so clear and simple that it gave him the confidence that he needed to ACE his interview 3) Thank you Mr. Turner and course careers because this is a special thing Now here is the backstory: Last year someone asked me "is it possible to get a job in the field of accounting if you don't have a college degree." I said it should be and starting working with Course Careers to create a "Start Your Career In Accounting Course" Today a graduate of my course told me his story and it went like this: 1️⃣ "I'm a first generation immigrant born in the US with no college degree" 2️⃣ "I only have a few years of experience of working in in the fast food industry" 3️⃣ After your class I landed my first job in accounting making more money than I ever have and I'm excited about my future Side note: his starting salary with no degree and no student loan debt is more than my starting salary was and I had 2 college degrees and student loans debt. I am so happy for this young man and the future that he just stepped into, if you are interested in checking out my course see the link in the comments below.
