The job opportunities and how employable it can make you.

I have enjoyed pipe welding the most!
What has been the most challenging college course you had as a dual enrolled student?
The most challenging class I have had is the Welding Blueprints class.
Given your experience, what is the best advice would you give a fellow student thinking about entering the dual enrollment path in high school?
Start as soon as you can. You want to get the best college schedule as possible.
What are your plans after graduating from Northeast State?
I am coming back in the fall semester going to complete my AAS Welding Degree. My goal is to get on working for Eastman full time.
