"Previous generations are quick to dismiss video games as a juvenile interest that will fade once students enter the workforce. Gill doesn’t think that’s the case. “My generation finds it hard to relate to because we think it’s just a game,” he says. But when you get past the game part of it, you’re left with a more engaging way to study problems." - RecruiterGuy - Dallas Recruiting Roadshow
