Cal State University Los Angeles, CA 1976 -1977 Student
I left Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in March of 1976 only after 2 quarters
and enrolled in Cal State Los Angeles aka the Cement City. I kept my
Major in Printing although the program was in the School of Engineering.
My Degree would be in Industrial Technology with an Option in
Printing Management.
My mind was set. I was going to get my degree and go to work for my
Dad. Big mistake. How can a kid who was still not 21 know what he
wanted to do? Believe it or not some individuals know what they want to
do at age 4. I was just pursuing the wrong path.
It was my desire to be around my Dad not my desire to be in the
Printing Business which was steering my decisions. Yes, divorce has
consequences and it causes children of divorce who may not have had
a close relationship with their parents to take career paths that are not
their own but their parents in some cases. This was my case. It came
back to bite me in the butt in the long run.
During my time at Cal State Los Angeles from March of 1976 to
August of 1977 I was determined to get my degree as soon as I could. I
remember taking 21 units one quarter. It was my desire to get the piece
of paper and move on. Not a good reason. Looking back, I think college
should be savored and enjoyed like anything you do in life. I rushed
through it and did not take the time to as they say , “to smell the roses”
and how about seek serious counseling for career guidance.
