For some people, that's a really good direction to go. I've always been non-traditional in the way I think about things and do things, and so, very rigid schooling never really resonated with me. But, it depends. It depends on your personality. Some people are better served to have a more rigorous path. It definitely hasn't been easy, so I don't recommend it unless you have a personality like me.” – Jeri Ellsworth ------------------- Links: Visit Tilt Five’s Website Twitter - Follow Jeri Twitter - Follow Cassidy Twitter - Follow Zach The Dev Morning Show (At Night) YouTube Page
