“The knowledge and skills I gained from the Bits School has also allowed for me to became valued as an asset at the company I work for, much different from my factory days. So much so that I have already received a raise twice from the company, I have much more freedom than before and I can finally give a good portion of my salary to my family and still have much more to save.”
