Computer Career Center has just completed its nineteenth year of operation, and it gives me a chance to reflect on our success. Success doesn't just happen. Success is the result of a plan that is made and followed. Unfortunately, too many students have been led to believe that all they need for a successful and happy future is a diploma. This belief has resulted in disappointment for hundreds of capable graduates. Today, it is important that every person be self-reliant. Our personal and national economies demand it. How then should a person plan to assure himself of the greatest possibility for a happy and successful future? There are three simple but vitally related factors, which are essential, but too frequently ignored: interest, demand and potential growth.

The most important item to remember in planning your future starts with your interest. If you are interested in something, you will enjoy learning about it today and doing it tomorrow. Once you spend your time and money on education, it is important there be a demand for the services in which you were trained. Finally, ensure the growth potential in the field you select will meet your expectations. An ambitious person, properly trained, does not want to stagnate; he wants to progress and grow.

   We are primarily a nation of business. The whole structure of our busy world depends largely upon properly trained office and medical personnel for successful operation. By recognizing the need to continue your education, you have taken the first step in becoming a marketable individual. You have recognized the need to possess certain necessary skills if you are to compete in the rapidly changing job market. Business and industry thrives because of motivated people like you who want to contribute to the growth of our nation.

   Computer Career Center provides students with the opportunity to learn state-of-the-art, as well as traditional concepts in the areas of business and industry. I personally challenge you to be the best that you can be--not only while attending Computer Career Center, but also once you have entered the job market as a graduate.

   Computer Career Center students are in a unique community. Our philosophy is that each student is an integral part in the success of our school. Every student has individual needs and wants and we will strive to meet each and every one of them. We will treat you with the respect and dignity you deserve. Our goal is to make every student proud of being a part of Computer Career Center and our rewards will come from your accomplishments and successes obtained from your education. We want to be your educational family. Remember, you are the school!

   If you consider yourself to be a motivated individual who sees the world of business as an exciting and challenging career, I invite you, through this catalog, to consider Computer Career Center as your means to become an integral part of our ever changing and competitive world.
