The Rewards of Taking Risks

Jeff Solheim started his career as a staff nurse. Willing to take some risks, he soon moved into administration, then started a multi-million dollar nonprofit organization, and then decided to go back to school. "Too many times we see our career in a box," said Jeff. "When I stepped out of the box, opportunities started flying at me left and right, and I ended up where I never thought I would be."
