'The Best Job of my Life'
Thirty seven years later, that initial confusion has blossomed into a rewarding career that has spanned two states and brought Bedsted to the manager's chair at Mayo Clinic's Print Publishing Unit, in Rochester, Minn.
Back in the mid-'70s, after taking his father's advice, Bedsted enjoyed two years of graphic arts courses. His instructor, Harlan Koch, inspired him to continue his studies at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, where he earned his degree in Industrial Education with a graphic arts concentration. While working as a student teacher, though, he discovered something about himself: "That experience convinced me I didn't want to teach high school," he admits. "I found college teaching much more enjoyable and rewarding."
