How did Evergreen prepare you for your professional life?

At Evergreen I began to develop an understanding of relativism and the idea of relative truths. I think this helps me enormously in dealing with the ambiguities and anomalies involved in interpreting property descriptions and in understanding the legal aspects of property "ownership" which is really only a bundle of rights that can be defined in as many ways as one can imagine. At Evergreen I learned how to learn independently and this definitely helped when it came time to study for the exam for licensure as a Land Surveyor.
