Stacey struggled to identify a career path. After switching her major three times, she was advised to consult a career advisor; something she wished she did much sooner. Find out why she chose construction marketing.
As an only child, Bob first started building cities in his mom's rose garden with roads and matchbox cars. Growing up in an Engineer's household, he was influenced to get into the auto industry.

However Engineering was not a fit for him and he changed paths to construction management. After college he got a job with a small subcontractor. On a hot summer day he was ordered to take down a 14 ft. brick wall in a grocery store. As the bricks came down and he separated them in piles, he was then ordered to break up the bricks even more. Thinking this was a very tedious task with no meaning, he was frustrated and gained the courage to ask his foreman, "Why?" Find out the meaning behind the bricks.
Doug speaks about a unique and authentic national program that is available to high schools students.

The program also includes a mentor, 6 week paid internship, and first-in-line consideration with their business partners. P-TECH serves students from primarily underserved backgrounds, with no testing or grade requirements.
As an entry level Interior Designer, Kelly got the opportunity to design studios for MTV and attend the MTV Music Awards. She attributes most of her influence to her parents and high school teacher; they encouraged her to follow her passion, which led her to build her own commercial design company.
