YOUR DEVMOUNTAIN EXPERIENCE

 

Passive vs. Active Education

 

OWN YOUR Learning

  • Education vs Learning
  • It's how this industry works
  • Hands on, Videos, Reading
  • Just scratching surface
  • You should expect to struggle
  • You should expect to feel behind others
  • You should expect to feel overwhelmed

We have only 13 weeks.

 

YOU SHOULD EXPECT

Dealing with ADVERSITY

  • Give up
  • Get depressed
  • Blame others
  • Work hard, stay positive

Students who work the hardest and stay positive often surpass their "more experienced" peers.
