Class Wrap-Up Paper

I had not chosen a concentration before the class, however I was mostly focused on marketing. I competed in DECA my senior year of high school and was decently successful for not having studied or prepared at all. It came easy so I thought that might be a good fit for me. Now, I think i may pursue finance or real estate, because there is a lot of money involved in those markets. Also, those fields are ever-growing so there will be a chance to extend my career. I changed my mind from marketing because I don't think I would be successful in selling things to people when they don't need them. I'm not a very pushy person. I wasn't very worried about choosing a concentration coming into CSU, and I am not very worried now. I want to take some classes in each field, just to see what I like, and when I find something I am good at and excel at, I'll choose it. I felt that the speakers gave a good representation of the type of person you have to be to work in each concentration. I also found that they were very informative in changing my preconceptions of the individual concentrations. I think I have known for a long time that I would end up a business major. My dad is a regional controller for Clear Channel so I sort of assumed I would follow a path very similar path. I'm looking forward to getting started in some real business classes so I can get a real taste for each concentration. I would certainly feel comfortable meeting with a career advisor. I probably should, the sooner I can get started the better. The most useful information to me was the speakers from study abroad. I found what they had to say to be very persuasive and I certainly want to study abroad now. I have no idea where though.
