Following his classroom-style analysis of today's booming air cargo industry, Smith urged the graduates to hold passion for whatever they do, have compassion for whomever they work for, hunger for knowledge and be flexible to whatever the future brings. Throughout the two-hour ceremony, the graduates gowned in black sat restlessly, occasionally cheering and batting a big beach ball around the fieldhouse. Dressed in their Sunday best, the graduates' mothers and fathers, siblings and friends whooped and hollered the second their loved one's name was called as a graduate. Standing outside the Fieldhouse following the ceremony, Jason Klenklen knew his future didn't hinge on finding a job but choosing the right one. Kan. One thing's for sure.
School is over.
It's time to go to work.
