The concept was always floating around in my head but I had never really sat down and thought about all of the education (even if it is not from a formal institution) that workers need to do their jobs.

All of these competencies relate directly towards my degree. My top three jobs that I will likely pursue after I serve will be a financial manager, operations manager, and a financial advisor.…
