I also got paid peanuts when I look back at it too. I honestly learned more through my 18 month MBA program at University of Phoenix than I did at K-State in my 5 years there. I got so close with the journalism school & was a ambassador there too. Because my professors loved me, they game me a pass for my horrid grammatical crap at the time. Life is literally who you know, are you likable, etc. when I’m trying to hire a dentist these days, the field barely looks at their CV or where they went for school. They want to know about their experience first.
