What good’s an education if you don’t know how to apply what you’ve learned to the real world? It’s a question being raised by those who say that American education places too much emphasis on book learning and not enough on practical application of knowledge.

They’re making a stop in Charlotte and you’ll hear what they have to say about that and about finding passion in your work.
