Tweetable Quotes:
“I think a lot of people are so focused on income and focused on how they are gonna go and get a college degree and they don’t look at what they’re spending on it. So, I would really focus a lot on acquiring skills but doing it in a way that makes sense. That you’re gonna get a return on your investment.” – Chris Mamula
“Ask more questions and continue to ask until you find the answer that makes sense.” – Chris Mamula
