LJIC Graduate Nicole Egeland

Nicole graduated from La' James International College in 2003 and is employed at Great Clips in Fort Dodge.  Her words of wisdom to students entering the industry:  

“There is light at the end of the tunnel.  It is a lot of fun once you are out in the industry and well worth the hard work.  Set goals and it is up to you how much you make.”

Her co-worker Amber Rouse, also a graduate, said

“Don’t give up!  If you like what you do, it is not really work.  Take advice from others.”
