Job Before Degree!!!

Getting the job before getting the degree: What An Interesting Concept

Brenda Hellyer, a 43-year-old accountant by education, will become San Jacinto College next chancellor under one condition: that she would earn a doctorate before taking the reins in 2009.

Some people can't get the job even with the degree.

Hellyer's engaging personality, political skill and public speaking ability also make her an ideal modern chancellor, more CEO than scholar, say trustees and colleagues.

Her political skill is probably what cinched the deal. (All about the world of politics.)
