You gotta get out there because you never know who you will meet.
For example i take spanish classes on the weekend and one of my fellow students is a supervisor of another department in the smelter complex i work at.
He knows my name what im doing and he even said that he will keep and ear and eye out for me, and that he was happy to see someone of my age still strive for betterment and that those are the people the company likes to promote.
and you think you are the only one that does that? Pretty stuck on yourself.
