It is 2013, a new year and a time
for fresh beginnings! For some it is a time to set goals
and resolutions. For others it is a time to evaluate their
career goals and the progress they’ve made. This year
some professionals may be heading back to the classroom
and getting their degree in hopes with reaching their next
career milestone.
