Before we started our "real jobs" we had several college jobs, and somehow went to school full-time. Take a walk down memory lane with us as we discuss getting paid in cash by our bookie boss, being assigned to random work study jobs on campus, and remember the cast of characters we met along the way!

Would you move across the country for a job or fresh start? Bea and Nicole both did, and today we are talking all about what that experience was like. Bea took the leap at the beginning of her career and ended up finding her true love in the process! Nicole sold her house, said goodbye to her friends, and moved to the east coast for more sun and a new job! Overall, we all agree that these moves were the right thing at the right time in their lives.
