Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for high school students
I think the most important first step is to get a college education; whether it is in business, communication, education, it is a building block and a door opener to a career like this. I also think you need to have an understanding of the service industry. A lot of what we do is trying to satisfy the customer, so a solid understanding of excellent customer service is key.
