Associate Degree in Business Administration

Andres: Well, since you did not specified what type of experience you wanted to hear, I will talk about three types of experiences: Life experience, education experience and professional experience.
Andres: I arrived in the U.S. when I was 18 years old. I had no support from family or friends; I only had myself to rely on to build a new life in this country.
