Carter didn't want to follow in the footsteps of some of his former high school classmates and attend a 4-year college right away because he saw that they were not enjoying the experience.

"I wanted to skip the mistake of going to the 4 year school and go to the community college and figure things out."

Carter has enjoyed his experience at Cabrillo and holds several associates degrees and certificates allowing him to work directly in the field or attend a 4 year school.
