Career Success

I used to work in New York City, and CCNY had an annex there. I wanted to pursue my education and CCNY was very convenient for me. I could leave from work and I knew CCNY had a good reputation. It was very convenient and very worthwhile. I enjoyed my stay down there. I was working a considerable amount of hours, and I would take night classes and a four-credit class on weekends. The classes weren't that big and it was mostly adults. It was very personalized, and I had a terrific experience. It was kind of rough, but I managed to pull it off. I retired from FedEx after over 30 years. Because of my degree, I was able to get into positions that I wouldn't have the opportunity to. I recommend CCNY to anybody who wants to go to school in New York City.
