We did not have money for college. I felt so lucky when I was accepted into the school. I was trained in the Power Plant technology program. I loved my career. I work for the same employer for 42 years only leaving when an opportunity to return to Williamson to teach the future generation of technicians. I was making over 6 figures and I took a major pay cut because I believe in the school so much.
