"I loved studying history at Duke, both American History and all types of foreign affairs. I found that the critical thinking and writing skills required to pursue my history degree to have served me well in my career. While I have spent the last 25 years in business, the lessons and perspectives gleaned from my history degree remain relevant and helpful."
