How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
My high school art teacher came in to the pharmacy I was working at and asked me why I hadn't given advertising art any thought as a career, so I enrolled in the local community college to take a course or two to see if I would like it. I did, and completed my Associates degree shortly thereafter.
