College education opens the
opportunity to gain endless valuable resources to a person. It transforms a
person into a skilled person and helps a person to build up a good career. The college life is an eye-opener for every student
letting them understand what real life is about. It is a moment when someone learns
how to be self-dependent and learn to save money to finance their own
education.
Sam Congdon joined Hillsdale
College after graduating from Wenatchee high school in 1991. He subject in
college was Bachelor of Science in Economics degree, during his college time he
didn’t only kept himself to attain the degree but he also adapted the skill
that is required to run a business successfully.
It is at the college where he learn
about Austrian economics method for the first time. It is a free market
oriented economical method with less government intervention and supports commercial
activities. The method advocates for the right of individuals the right of
property and the right to contract. The method goes beyond
standard-issue free market thinking in a number of ways and it offers a
challenge to the Keynesian school of thought.
Sam Congdon enjoyed his
entire college life where he gathered a lot of economics and common sense
political principles. He considers these as raw economic principles which
opposed the ideas in the mainstream media concerning economics, the role of
government and personal freedom, or lack thereof.
He didn’t stop himself only in
the college curriculum rather he kept himself busy in learning other skills,
that includes skill of running a business. He started to work for Student Works Painting
Company as a city manager in his freshman year. The Canada based company trains
student on how to run a painting business during the summer. During the Midwest
season and temperature that are good and clear like spring and summer months
are hot. The outdoor painting session takes place during the warm months of
summer and it connects with the summer break of college. Sam Congdon was well
adapted with hardworking skill since his young age that he learned at the
Orchard farm when he grew up.
The position of city manager for Student Work
Painting required a lot of input in time and hard-work. As he was well adapted
with hard-work he was assigned to manage the painting in the city of Battle
Creek Michigan. The city was closest to Hillsdale where he was a student. His
managerial job starts way before the peak time of painting that is the summer break,
and he was enthusiastic enough to manage both the college and painting job at a
time. He had to travel to the city to market by use of flier and signs, to
secure summer contracts and to provide a list of estimation. He also had the
duty or hiring people to work with him to whom he used to provide the prior
training. The task involves placement of advertisements in local newspapers and
he interviewed the person to hire them.
From the very early age of
college life Sam Congdon was developing himself as a skilled person who managed
to balance his studies and work both with great success.
