Over the past couple of weeks I have been writing about how college students can guarantee for themselves a job after college.  The best way to do this is through experiential education during their college career.

To illustrate my point with real life examples; I attended Liberty University’s graduation ceremony in Lynchburg Virginia last weekend.  My cousin Josh graduated from their school of government.  Way to go Josh!

We drove down to Lynchburg in the middle of the night and arrived in Lynchburg at 6AM.  There is nothing like driving through the Virginia country side in the middle of the night half asleep.  Those flat roads all start to look the same after a while.

Josh may have graduated with a degree in government but was offered a job in the schools IT department because of his amazing abilities in information technology, specifically Apple computers.  Josh is the sole reason I am writing this article on my nice and fairly new black MacBook.  He convinced my brother and I that Apple is far superior to Windows years ago.  Thanks again Josh!

While he was in school at Liberty taking classes in the school of government he was applying his amazing abilities in a totally different field, computer science and tech support.  Since he had a passion for computers and specifically Apple he was offered a job upon gradation in the schools IT department to handle support of all Apple products at the university.  Did he waste his time by getting a degree in government? No way!  The information he learned via his degree and the hands on skills he has in computer science field will be applicable and practical in a variety of companies.

It worked for Josh and is certainly can work for you!
