“you need to be a jack of all trades and a master of one

I like what
Mr. McReynolds said: "you need to be a jack of all trades and a master of one". Not only obtaining the associates degree, but seeking extra value, by getting a certificate on a specific certification. Which I can apply to my new life, as a student at lds Business College. Even when I have not been in school for the last 7 years, I feel that my experiences as a missionary and personal events in my life are going to help me gather, the necessary skills I need to succeed in my goal to achieve higher education. And the idea to gather all the knowledge and the skills that I will learn trough the semester to finally meet my ultimate goal which is to obtain a college degree in Information systems.

Obtaining that degree is going to help me understand why companies need people with the training and the skills to improve their business. In a world clouded with thousands of different products or services that are offer to their customers. How I am going to help them by improving their services and products, finding the right markets by gathering data, transforming it to information and using it to ultimately delivering what the customers really wants from that specific brand. For example, I used to work for the automobile business for many years in which I notice that there was a big need for easy access to the public for information about repairing vehicles, that information is only access by the dealer at a high cost. That's why they charge a lot of money to repair the vehicles, and they always try to gather information thought surveys from recent and past costumers that 60% of the time don't answer or just won't come back to the dealer, but if they made access possible through a simple base website, they can offer the real information that the customers are looking for, about their vehicles and at the same time gathering extremely important information to improve their products and services.

By acquiring these skills I can like they said" sell myself for the best price, not just by the degree but for the actual value of the knowledge and skills that I will obtain as a person. In this time of "reseccion" were the values, moral and honor code are broken we need to stand our ground, stand taller and like the bears show the wolf, who is in charge and not afraid to fight back at the corruption of easy money, and show them that I am not only mean business but I will protect those systems for which I will work so hard.
