As an information technology professional, one involved in the realm of geographic information systems and mapping technology, students often ask what technologies they can learn to become more competitive in the job market. I stress two technologies, programming, and databases. For databases, I don’t point them in any particular direction, Oracle, SQL Server; even IBM…
I honestly do not think our current National Education System is churning out people prepared to meet the world head-on.

Jon has a staggeringly impressive resume: the current president of the Nightclub & Bar Media Group, has restored over 600 bars and nightclubs, is one of only 6 people in the Nightclub Hall…
A disturbing pathology has arisen within the American Educational System, both within K-12 and Higher Education. Policies implemented throughout all levels of the United States educational system and changes of attitudes within families are resulting in American students that are not adequately prepared for current or future employment, and worse, woefully ill-prepared to face the…
