Philip Hornbeck "I had been in the service industry long enough to know that I wanted to follow a different career path. I enrolled at Horry-Georgetown Technical College because it offered the best future in Engineering Technology. My professors were first-rate and they taught me the technical skills I needed, plus they helped me land a great job! Best of all, HGTC courses transfer, so everything I've learned counts toward my Bachelor's degree in Engineering."
