| - So both my parents worked in the casino business (dad working at Mirage, mom working at MGM grand) and actually they've been in this business for their entire life. As I was exploring my career options (and also let's not ignore the fact I live in Las Vegas), I was interested in following their footsteps. I checked out multiple schools and ultimately decided to run with CEG.
This place was really flexible with my hours. I mean I had a job while I was going to school here - there's gotta be income coming in somewhere! And on top of that, everyone including Alex, who I believe owns the business, was very welcoming and super down-to-earth. I'm pretty young and felt like at other places I was judged for being such a young person looking to get in the gaming biz, so that's another huge plus for CEG. I felt like I learned so much in such a short time and that I was learning from people who really knew what they were doing.
The training itself was by no means easy, either. In order to learn, I had to really commit to going to classes and apply myself. I honestly didn't pick things up that easily, but Alex and his teachers were very upfront to me when I was dealing incorrectly and they would provide constructive criticism on what exactly to do, how to fix my techniques, etc. On top of training, this school will help you get a job. So they don't just train you, they prep you, they help you apply and then they prepare you for the interviews! I remember being nervous for my auditions, but I felt extremely prepared otherwise.
