Dacula Patch: If you were to enroll in college today, what degree would you pursue and why?
Mayor Wilbanks: I would pursue a career in some technological area. There is so much going on in the computer technology field and we have such a wide-open need in the field for skilled, educated people and such a current dearth of workers . There is need for college graduates and technical college graduates. There is also a broad arena where entrepreneurs have a chance to make a difference in technological sciences. As an example, If someone could come up with a way to reduce or eliminate the wild tangle of wiring needed for desktop computers, I think they would have an opportunity to make a fortune—perhaps without a college degree at all. Just think how much better your workspace would be without a scramble of wire/cable.
