Shoutouts, musings, out and about

- The PEPTalks
For nearly 20 years of our life, we follow a path dictated to us by our school career. But in the real world, we cannot rely on a predetermined course. According to Jim Hendrickson, we must not only choose our career path, but choose our bosses. Jim’s path took him from being a musician, to the Army, and then to the corporate world.
