I would like to say ‘Thank You” for writing this article. As a 47 year old African American male who has two degrees, MBA and a BS in Business and Management, I can attest that having these degrees has been very beneficial in my career in Business. I have worked in companies where most of the employees were not African American, nor were most of the customers, and these degrees along with an overall self commitment to be better than average, allowed me to excel in management positions throughout my career despite adversities.
Education is extremely important and it is something no one can take from you. It does not necessarily have to be in business, though I am biased, if you excel in business, you can do most anything.
Thanks, to my parents (both with college degrees), for pushing me to be the best individual I could be, and understanding the importance of being educated about the world, and life in general.
