One of the prerequisites for this course is that students have established a career path that requires post-secondary education. While this is important for our class, there still are many other reasons individuals choose to take on other post-secondary opportunities. 

Check out the video below to learn why this student chose to go to college.

"Students go to college for many different reasons. Some seek intellectual challenges, others seek social or personal growth experiences. Still others are focused on career development.
