Collage Student Analysis

I've spent the last two years as a business major mostly due to my father putting the fear of God into me by telling me that if I major in anything other than business that I would end up poor and permanently jobless. As a naive 17-year-old that had always done as told, I chose not to research his statements and opted to pick a major in the business field that I felt I could handle at a school that I was told had a good job placement rate. So, the two years that I spent studying marketing at Clarion were two years that I never thought much about humanities majors. In fact, I was so far gone into my little bubble that I refused to acknowledge

I transferred to the University of Texas last semester in hopes to walk in and make impeccable grades and move my way into the McCombs School of Business. Much to my surprise, my first semester grades fell short of what was needed to even be a competitive applicant for entry to the school. My parents set me up to first receive a practical degree, such as business, then move on to law school. Coming to the end of my sophomore year, where all second-year students must declare a major, I became very lost and scared of what I was to do next. Practically, I always had the backup plan to study economics in the College of Liberal Arts if I didn’t get into McCombs, but when that time came, I knew that economics was not in my heart. Around this time

I was majoring in Justice studies when I was studying at a community college. The reason I wanted to become a police officer was that I really liked their strong personality and the job of serving others. However, after transferring to SJSU, I decided to change my major to business of management due to the fact that there are fewer jobs offered in Justice career. My cousin Jyoti, majored in justice studies but she never was able to find a job in her major profession. This was the fact, which really forced me to change my major and do something that is more valuable. Business is quite a famous major in these days and had many jobs offered, which can secure peoples career life. So by looking at the wide range of business jobs and benefits I decide to study business and become a manager of a

Upon starting my undergraduate career at Saint Louis University, I immediately began serving as a volunteer tutor at Sherman Elementary School in St. Louis. I had been involved in community service for as long as I could remember, but I had never felt that I was not accomplishing the task that I set out to do. Unfortunately, this was not the case for me at Sherman Elementary. While I was tasked with bringing lagging students back up to the pace of the class, I most certainly failed at achieving this goal. It seemed that I was working, week after week, with the same students on the same problems. In hindsight, I think that my failure to build a strong rapport with my students was the primary problem. Since my background rests in a rural town

It can be a big issue when it comes to choosing a major that you are interested in. So I suggest you to write down on paper all the things that you are interested in. Then eliminate some of your interest in. so that way you can see what you want to major in.

Based on my results in the first journals, I strongly knew that I was choosing the right career for me because of my type of personality, my interest and my values. My personality type is ESTJ (Extroverted, Sensor, Thinker and Judger) this are strong personalities that would fit a great business man. In addition, my primary interest of enterprising also related to my career of business. Enterprising people are competitive and ambitious, they like to sell and persuade people. My main values are recognition and this is real important in the business world because is moving up the ladder, always promotions are happening and those that are prepare are the one that take them. All this lead to keep investigating about my major, but I already knew that is was

The reason I chose the animal science and general business major is because I want to develop my own business in the horse industry; breeding, training, and selling horses. I believe having a degree in general business will influence my skills and knowledge in attaining my own business. Something I have been told by many people in the horse world is to make sure I get a business degree because many horse trainers don’t know how to properly run their businesses. The animal science major would be even more valuable because it specifically revolves around the business aspect of animals which would be very beneficial to my desired career.

In High school I was a C plus B minus student, which was a substandard grade point average. Due to academic and financial reasons, I was confined to a Junior college. Nevertheless, making that the best decision that was ever made for me.

Choosing the undeclared major when applying for college has gave me more time to thoroughly think about this important decision. Picking the right major has always been one of my college dreams because it will shape my future career and the path that i will take after graduating college. In college, I plan on enrolling in completely different subjects to test what i am passionate about. Some courses may be more challenging than others, but this experiment will demonstrate what my desires and distastes are; which will later help the process of picking the perfect major for myself. Another reason why it is so crucial to pick the right major, is because the emphasis in one particular subject can allow me to have many possible career opportunities that i am very desirous about in the future. In order to achieve my college dream, staying focus and on top of my academics will assist me in passing all my college courses with a B- or better. My dream of planning out my future with the appropriate major will enhance me to be a better person and allow me to do ample amounts of future

Commuter students represent the largest, most complex and diverse collection of students in higher education (Weiss, 2014). Additionally, they make up approximately seventy-five percent of today’s college student (Newbold, Mehta, Forbus, 2011). As a result of the overwhelming increase in students choosing to commute to campus, many college and institutions find it necessary to cater to the differing needs of commuters compared to non-commuter students. Despite their status as the numerical majority, it is vital to the success of commuter students that their needs and support systems are customized based off each institution, rather than basing decisions on data collected nationwide (Weiss, 2014; Newbold, et al., 2011). There

The second collage is of my education, what I've learned and how I got here. Along the bottom of the collage is a picture of my original high school which was super small. The high school only had 50 kids and really influenced who I am today, with such a small student body you know everybody and everybody is able to have a voice. Our mascot was the Cabot huskies, we had a fairly successful soccer team, at one point we tried to have a cheerleading team but ran out of students to play the sports that we would cheer for. My junior and senior year of high school I changed things up a little bit and attended my local technical center’s cosmetology program. In cosmetology school I learned haircutting, nail polishing, coloring hair, cosmetic applications,

Most people have the idea that they have to know exactly what they want to be before they enter college but, just like our guest speaker Kelly Saur 50-70% of people change their majors at least once. Prior Ms. Saur's presentation I was under the impression that if I really want to be successful I have to know exactly what I want to be before I enter college but that is false. When Ms. Saur went into college she was majoring in Business but, she graduated with a degree in creative writing. This made me consider how I could try my options and won’t have to be tied down to one major or career.

I was cloudy regarding what I wanted to do in college. It is hard to wrap around the fact that choosing a major will affect how

When I first started college, I didn’t know where life was really taking me at that time as I do for just going with the flow of life. I’m still not totally sure if what I want out of life is really out there for me yet, but it’s good to get a head start with knowing what I don’t want, especially when it comes down to my major; the key to my future. At first, I thought I was cut out for a computer science major because in high school I thought I was gonna spend my life programming, creating websites, and ethical hacking since I believed the internet and computers are the future. But I slowly realized at the time near midterms that I just wasn’t really meant for this major, considering I was already struggling with my Algebra 3 class and I have a long way of complex, and even more difficult math classes ahead to even get my major. If I was already having a hard time with math, I only worried more for complex science courses since I knew that I struggle even worse with science than mathematics. Clearly, I needed to change my major before I got too deep but I didn’t know what to choose next for my major.

Choosing a career field is one of life’s most important and difficult decisions. But knowing what your expectations are and then comparing them to the realities will help you make educated decisions. Change is an unstoppable process and the fastest change in today’s world is in the field of business. Businesses have to be prepared to adopt any change that takes place. That’s why I choose business Management/Law as my career field because my family already own businesses like hotels and convenience stores. The main reason I choose this as my career field is because there are a lots of great opportunities available for people with business management/law degrees. Creating and running a successful business has always been a challenge where only the strong can survive and in the world of modern business with new advance technology managers or owners need good knowledge to top hard training with serious set of skills. My parents always told me as successful business owners that to be successful in running your own business you need to have more than just talent. You must have access to ocean full of resources which will help you in making your business successful in the long run. For that you need the proper training and knowledge that will help you select the right place of resources whether it is your career, job, or business you own. This can be achieved by having a degree in business management/law. Another reason I choose this major that it will also get you thinking about
