Why I want to go into business
I want to major in Business Administration because I
like to be in charge of certain areas of projects. I am a natural leader and I
feel that I would make a good market administration officer because I am a people
person. Getting along with people well is something that I will need when I go
to work because the more friendly I am with my co-workers, superiors, or
employees, the more friendlier the workplace will be. I know that I will become successful in this profession or any
other profession I choose.
How this class and having a
comptuer at home will help me
By taking this class I will be able to use my
computer to complete assignments for my business classes in college. I will
have somewhere to save all my files and to do my work without having to beg
someone to type a report for me or to use their computer. This computer will be
a convenience and it will make me very effective in college.

In
the beginning careers don’t make that much money but if with experience and
further my education you will make a lot more money in the end. I know that I
will have to work hard to finish school and do well in this field. I am
confident that I will do well if I keep focused.
What Can I Do With A Degree in Business Administration
I have
a numerous amount of opportunities open to me in the Business field. The
Business major will prepare me for a variety of careers including Accountant, Administrative Executive,
Banker, Chief Executive Officer, City Manager, Controller, Consultant,
Director, Human Resource Manager, and Public Relations Specialist, just to name a few.
This career will be good for me
because I don’t want to be stuck with just one career option. It will be good
that I could go into accounting if being a consultant becomes boring or
monotonous. I need change and this is a good career for me.
Thank You TGH, for helping me get a computer because I am
on my way to college and on my way to my career.
