Introduction and Goals
I have been in the workforce for many years and over time my interest in earning a college degree has been something on a wish list. Professionally, I landed a job at a company that provided me with opportunities to grow from an administrative assistant to my current position as a sales administration manager. The accumulation of knowledge that I acquired over the years that has proven to be valuable. As the business expanded and investors demand a variety of information pertaining to growth, industry comparisons and risks, it became apparent that many of us did not have enough knowledge on how to respond quickly and accurately to these new demands. I began to think of how well my work experience would translate to

In my research I discovered that Business Administration is not considered a concentration in every college, but for those that offer the degree, it is simply offered without a concentration.
The BME degree can provide me with a multitude of career opportunities at my current place of work or in other types of organizations and sectors. A degree concentration in Business Administration will prepare me with management principles, theory and skills necessary to work in various areas of any business and is perfect for individuals, like myself, who have a general interest in business instead of a very specific concentration. With a career in business administration I can manage, direct, and organize the day-to-day functions of an organization and follow processes to meet organizational

Attendance at a technical college or local 2-year school was deplorably referenced to as “loser’s territory” and if you dared to enroll in one anyway and followed through to graduation, well you were congratulated but to a lackluster fanfare. Some community college graduates still receive this reception upon exit of a community college but attitudes are definitely changing. Today more than ever, degree-seeking individuals are paving the path to their careers through the entrance and exit doors of community colleges. These well-informed leaders of the new school have realized a smarter way to education; that a bachelor’s degree or taking a traditional route to obtain one is not necessarily the best or right way to be a successful and employable member of society.
Over the past few years, people have begun to see going to college as a way to achieve the American Dream through career-readiness. People used to go to college, hoping to get a better well-rounded education. For most the well-rounded education, it usually came with the courses required for a liberal arts education. The courses would provide a level of analytical and in-depth understanding that would prepare the students for both life and whichever career path chosen. No matter the amount of money paid, parents would be willing to gi...

People are beginning to realize the importance of education and accreditations in order to remain competitive in the working world.

Education has always been a primary concern for my parents, who taught me that if I need to succeed in life, I have to be educated. Following their guide, I have always valued and tried to get the most of any educational opportunity I have had. Having grown up in a business family, I have always been interested in focusing my career in the business field. My Mother and Father own their own company, and they are constantly talking about business, which has inspired me to follow their path. When my parents retire, they want me to carry on their legacy. For this reason, I have decided to pursue my studies in the field of Business and Leadership at Marylhurst University. I want to pursue a well-rounded education at this established university where I also can have life experiences in the outside world, which will ultimately help me to become a successful leader in our family business.
I completely changed my academic path to tailor it to the knowledge needed to be successful, I transferred from CAS to Gallatin and intend on concentrating on Management and Political Consulting. I fully plan on taking as many relevant courses as I can, having already taken M&O 1 and enrolled to take Strategic Analysis. This summer, I spent time reading “Case in Point” by Marc Cosentino for leisure. I finished the book, and it truly solidified my
In this class, one thing I learned about myself when it came to jobs that I worked before
Being a business administrative doesn’t require much additional training, but it requires plenty of additional duties. The additional duties actually come in very handy when a person gets promoted to a higher position. In the business world, it is optional if you want to continue your education to hold a certain position. Nobody is forcing you to go out there and further more your education, but in my opinion I would make the best choice in going much further with my education. There’s no problem in going further with your education, but if you do then you’re making a great choice to learn more in the business
