California DECA alumnus and 2010-11 State President Sonika Singh of Monta Vista DECA was featured in the Wall Street Journal article ‘Whose the Boss? When Jobs are Scarce, the Kids Are’ for her business, Rage Shoes. The article highlights high school students who are engaging in entrepreneurial efforts and starting their own businesses – and not just lemonade stands.

Singh was interviewed for the article during the 60th State Career Development Conference in early March and the article was published several weeks later.
