have you gone to college yourself
yeah i have
did you where'd you go
i went to Western State College in Gunnison Colorado
oh yeah
what about you
uh i went i graduated from ah Weaver State University here at in Ogden
oh okay
yeah so what did you uh or what would you recommend for a good college i guess
i personally would recommend the smaller college just because
uh-huh
you know you get a lot more
individual attention and and you can go speak talk to your professor and
um-hum
and uh it's just
more i think it's more conducive to studying especially if you're like a freshman
yeah i agree with you a hundred percent i Weaver's a pretty small college we have uh about ten thousand to twelve thousand students and
i i have some friends who went to Brigham Young University and the the University of Utah that you know they got twenty five thirty thousand people and
um-hum
you know all they are is a number you go to a testing center for everything and you just check in by number or you most all most of the time they said they actually even had uh
uh student or not student teacher but you know graduate students teaching their classes
right
whereas you know all my professors i knew they were PhD's or whatever and that they were tenured and everything and felt like uh like like you say i got a lot more personal attention and
right is that uh is that in the mountains
uh yeah we are
oh great
yeah
well that's the way that's what Western State was too
oh yeah it's beautiful i i'd
yeah
i wouldn't trade it i wish i could move back
yeah
yeah
i'm tired of the big city that's for sure yeah
are you
are you close to Dallas or
yeah we're just uh uh out skirts of Dallas
yeah uh we uh in fact my campus was right on uh the benches of the mountains
so i was it was really pretty all the time
yeah
sure enjoy i i don't know if i could ever move away
did you ski
of course yeah you i i haven't uh actually the last couple of years i haven't been able to as much because
uh out of school but uh
i i did a lot when i was in high school and stuff when i didn't have to spend the time studying and working and supporting a family but
right
i love it you yourself
oh yeah definitely
yeah you don't get as much of a chance down there in Texas do you i would think
no
i regret it too i i really wanna
yeah
i'd like to go this year
we were supposed to go on a ski trip but that's one that's one thing i would recommend too because you know
go up to Colorado or
yeah
most college you go to a college and you make what you what you uh what you can out of it you know
uh-huh
and when you get out then you know you're you basically promote yourself and you try and network into a company or or get a job or start a business or whatever
yeah
um-hum
but uh you just can't trade the
the the time you know that you spend in the mountains you know if you if you fish and hunt or whatever and ski
yeah that's true
um-hum
you know i i'd never give up that
oh yeah they offer i mean anymore they offer cook there's a you know we have uh we had a mountain climbing class we had you know we had a ski class
yeah
and there was all kind of that stuff that was offered as you know electives and those were i mean those were the funniest ones i mean
right
sure
that made up for all the English classes or you know the science classes you had to take but uh
right
yeah that was what made it like i say made it worthwhile and
at least kept you going to school on a semi regular basis i know it was pretty tough come spring or in summer or especially when it was so cold man if you didn't have a reason like a ski class you never went
right
yeah
it just wasn't worth it so
but yeah i uh
i'm convinced that after getting me my undergraduate degree i would like to go to a big name school to get my graduate degree but
they're so expensive i'm not anymore i i almost think people just require they require a graduate degree or an undergraduate degree they don't necessarily care where from and if you wanna set yourself apart you have to go get that big graduate degree from Harvard or some place like that
yeah they do
that's right
or else it you know you're just Joe Blow off the street nobody knows but
right
what'd you get your degree in
uh business administration
oh did you did you have an emphasis in anything or
yeah
emphasis in finance
oh did you that's what i got mine in was in finance yeah so where you're working at now
yeah
really
i'm at uh company by the name of E Systems we're a defense contractor down here
uh-huh
uh-huh
it's it's pretty good company so
oh really are you an analyst for them or
yeah i'm a scheduling analyst yeah
oh really great
so
yeah i'm a little out of my field of what i wanna be i'm an auditor for a credit union but
oh really
it's not something i wanna do for very long
is there a lot of
we're kind of the bad guys it's kind of a negative type thing but
a lot of companies up there or
uh not not a lot of private
ah there i mean there's a lot of companies but they're not really large enough they're mainly there's a lot of family type companies and just small ten fifteen people
uh-huh
we uh pretty much are
you know the government plays a big part in our economy and
for what reason how do they do that
well we got we have uh
