Dallas College

Danny R. Starnes

“Dallas College opened many doors for me. I was unable to attend college right after high school, so I ended up working dead-end jobs for little pay. The decision to go to college was the best decision I ever made. Shortly before graduating, I was already making more money than I had ever dreamed possible. Over the last few years, I have quadrupled my salary using the skills I first learned at Eastfield. 

“The program offered very knowledgeable, caring instructors whose entire focus was to help me succeed. I strongly recommend Dallas College for anyone looking for a great start to a fulfilling career.”

Danny R. Starnes earned an associate degree in CIT – Programming. He also earned a Bachelor of Business Administration degree and a Master of Business Administration degree in strategic leadership from Northwood University. Danny has received several superior accomplishment awards from his employer, where he is a vice president in the finance and accounting area.

“Some people in non-STEM majors reject the idea of being in a STEM organization because they feel they aren’t smart enough or talented enough. I’m not the smartest or most talented person in the room, but I’m curious, and that’s more than enough. Don't let your own sense of limitation stop you.”
