1. Students, in my program, learn how to be successful in today's world of business. The program covers a wide range of topics, from economics to ethics and different business practices.
2. People with business degrees generally go on to work for a business, as corny as that sounds. It's true! Most of the students in my program have goals of working for a huge company and I would say that they probably get a little disappointed when they graduate because like any company, you have to start at the bottom and work your way up.
3. What drew me into business is solely because I cannot stand working for someone or taking orders from someone. It's just not who I am as a person. For me, I need to be in a leadership position that holds some power at all times, so the chance of owning my own company and being my own boss really excites me.
4. Well I am in business but I am more focused on sports business. So I would say a leader in sports business would have to be Jerry Colangelo. Colangelo took over the Phoenix Sun's in 1968 and brought the MLB to Phoenix as well, with the creation of the Diamondbacks. Colangelo also helped bring the Phoenix Coyotes and the Phoenix Mercury to the valley of the Sun. Currently he is the president of USA Basketball and is a real idol of mine.
5. A lot of the top journals in business come from the same publisher, the Academy of Management. So I'll pick different ones that way they aren't all from the same publisher. First, the top journal in business is the Academy of Management Journal published by the Academy of Management. Second, we have the Administrative Science Quarterly published by Cornell University. Finally, we have the American Economic Review published by American Economic Association.
Reflection:
After reading classmates goals and aspirations, it made me feel inadequate. Not knowing exactly what I want to do with my life. It is really interesting how people have a passion and drive for certain things.

Would you think that you would like to follow along the same path as Colangelo? It seems like taking over a team would be super interesting, especially if you are a fan of the sport.
ReplyDeleteBusiness is very competitive and as I quickly learned from GoDaddy after I got my AA degree in Computer Information Systems, I needed a 4 year degree and 4 years of experience. I decided to pursue medicine because you get both while in school through your residency program and it is high in demand. I feel that most students will find it very difficult to get a job. NO one gets out of college and strikes it rich. You still have to start in the mail room and work your way up to the 39th floor.
