The best career advice one can obtain is to listen to A Message to Garcia along with Hubbard's insights in his Apologia, his insights and quotations, the introduction relating to the meaning of this legendary work, and the Message itself.

Bartley Alexander was the world's leading bridge builder, something that was considered an awesome skill in the early 20th century.
