Miguel Vasquez was born in the US; then went back to Mexico as a young boy. When he returned here, at age 17, he worked in a every fast food restaurant you can think of – Wendy’s, Berger King, Arby’s and McDonalds.

But Vasquez, unhappy with his prospect, decided to get his GED so he could move forward with his life. He passed all five tests the first time around.

Now, he has adopted a two-fisted approach to his future. He’s taking a culinary arts course at JobTrain so he can be a cook. And he’s taking ESL classes at Canada College. But Vasquez doesn’t want a career as a cook. Rather, he plans to work as a cook so he can support himself while he receives the training he needs to be a computer technician.
