My commentary centers around those who opt to go a different direction than the, in many cases, college and university setting. So, here’s to the “kids” strapping on work boots, donning scrubs, slipping into a military uniform and a host of other options, and committing to careers soon after walking the “stage.” Here’s to the “kids” taking a different path toward their version of a higher education. And, here’s letting you know I’m just as proud of your decision and your work is just as honorable and important than any other. Here’s to you!
