Law, Sociology, Economics were some of the topics of discussion in the recent episode of “An Education That Works” on KWAM AM990. In the variety hour, Kenneth Kinney of Victory University has talked with some of the interesting people of the local Memphis area.

Here are some of the education excerpts from the show.
Kenneth discussed with Steve Shields about the career opportunities for law students. Steve said that law students should realize that the law industry is different from the rest. They should be ready to break grounds and look for opportunities from nonconventional areas. For example, instead of waiting for an opportunity from a traditional law firm, students should try their hands at law jobs available at the government, the corporations, the private consulting firms, etc.
Law students should try to be patient and should be ready to attempt something that was not required in the past. Moreover, they have to start networking and establishing contacts during their II year of the college itself, said Shields.

He talked about the subject Sociology stating that it is a study of human behavior and enables a person to learn about the society, the people, and their relationship with the society.
Later on the show, Kenneth interviewed Tangina Sanders who holds a double major in Human Services and Psychology. She is now the State Coordinator for Youth Villages Mentoring Program. Sanders said that Youth Villages, as an organization, helps the troubled youth in a variety of ways. It conducts different mentoring programs to support youth in their special needs.
