"Luckily I saw an ad for Daymar and requested information online. They called me right away, got me to come in, figured it all out and started school less than a week later. It was one of the best decisions of my life. I love it, it is so personable and friendly here. I just got my Associates of Science Degree. But I thought why stop there and now I am continuing on to get a Bachelor degree. I’m going into a field that is ever growing and always going to be around, I’ll never have to worry about my future."
