Pursue Your Dream Foundation

I regret about taking education here.
I wasted my money for education fee.
There is no gain.

PYD does a pretty good job in offering what they do for an NPO.
They did a super job in taking care of me while i was in NY for a couple of months. I’m an art major in college, so ‘business’ was a totally new concept, and PYD successfully taught me the fundamental principles very quickly.
The PROS:
They do teach you and give you amazing business opportunities that probably a normal company wouldn’t. But what you gain also depends on how hard you work, or what you can make out of the experience.
I have to mention that Mr. Leo is a super motivational speaker, and if you are also at loss in direction in NY, his speech will change you!
I also find this program very useful if you come from a foreign country, or other states beside NY, simply if you are new to the whole «NY business mind». NY definitely has a unique dynamic like no other, and even just in the way you socialize with people seem different. In that sense, PYD has taught me very valuable and interesting ways to look at things in terms of business.
You can also meet other ambitious people here, and the friendships I made here personally were very valuable. I think this comes from the fact that they are a very small school, and everyone quickly starts feeling as if they were all part of a family.
I found out later that some people that attend PYD regularly, are in very high positions of big cooperates that I would never even find the chance to talk to in normal life. Yes, for some reason PYD does attract these people to come even while they have amazing careers. Never under-​estimate who might be sitting in with you at a meeting while your interning for them!
The CONS:
Because the school is so small, the dynamics of this school really depends on the people that attend PYD at the time. It does tend to get frustrating when people don’t speak up, or meetings don’t seem productive. This all depends on if the students/​interns there are just there to fulfill their resume as «internship», or if they really want to learn.
You also have to understand that this is a learning process for everyone, so at times it’s struggling to cope with different levels of ‘professionalism’ s until they all get to the high standards.
You can slack but they DO make you work HARD! So sometimes you will feel pressured and worn out, doubting if this is what you really want. No pain, no gain, right?
Overall, I think PYD definitely teaches you a lot and makes you feel rewarded for what you do.
