I earned my master’s degree in 1982 at the height of one the worst economic recessions in the United States. To make matters worse, I had a bachelor’s and master’s degrees but not a day of job experience to supplement the degrees. I found myself in the “no-job-experience and no-experience-no job” cycle. I flipped hamburgers and did odd jobs with a master’s degree until the United Sates Army accepted me in 1986.
In the U.S Army, I got all the hands-on experience that I was lacking. I got so much experience that I was offered a teaching position in a college immediately after completing my tour of duty with the Army in 1992. Today, I have a Ph.D. Workforce Education and Development (WED) with emphasis on Career and Technical Education (CTE). I taught in college and high school concurrently for 25 years before accepting the Education Services Specialist position with the Department of Defense in Harrisburg in September of 2018.
I taught all the CAD and CAD related courses required for AAS degree. They included AutoCAD, Inventor, SolidWorks, Revit and SoftPlan, and Mechanical and Architectural Blueprint Reading
