Growing up I always dreamed of being a great actor. Just like any kid I had big dreams. My father a successful business man changed my view on my future. He showed me everyone could not be famous." Dreams are for suckers"(Elfadil). This is what brought me to my decision to become a business man. I figured I did not need the fame to become wealthy. I'm majoring in business because it gives a wide variety of opportunities, some most similar to what I have seen my dad do. I chose business as my life career because of natural inheritance, the many opportunities it offers, and the financial stability.
My eldest uncle started the foundation for my family at an early age, when he started exporting Sudanese sheep to Saudi Arabia. After going to college in Greece, he moved back to his home country Sudan. He used his savings from small jobs and trades to invest in a business that made him rich. This business opened a portal for many more to come. After becoming one the richest families in Sudan my uncle was extorted by the government, sent to prison, and lost a great amount of his fortune. This happened because he refused to let the government buy a part of his company. If my father had not went to college and gained business knowledge, I would not have most of the opportunities I have now. At the time my father was working with his brother, and was forced to relocate to find a job and start over. My father now holds great positions and is a shareholder in many big name Arabian companies, some of which he has created. He has set a foundation for my brother and I. He is counting on us to continue the family business but first we must graduate from college with a business degree so that we can inherit the businesses; in order for my father t...

...ess grow and continue to build new companies. I am looking long term. I have to keep in mind one day I will have a family and I will be just like my father sitting in the big office giving orders and will need someone to hand the business to. The investment of my education is the first step of the man I will become.
Choosing to major in general business made it easy for me to decide on a career. I was destined to be a boss and with school I hope to gain the knowledge I need to become just like my father. Education is the key to my success. The dreams I had as a child can be real. I have seen what it takes and I have watched many businesses grow. Now I want to make my own business grow and watch my wealth come in. I am ready to become what I was destined to be and that was a boss. I am Boss Man Mally.

Where I thought Money, fame, glory and power where my goals. I dreamed of becoming the CEO of Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Moreover, the reason was that currently their CEO makes 14.5 million a year. Growing up I always assumed making more money would make me happy. As I grew up and started, working the goal was always to make more money. For instance, my first job I made $15 a day. I would tell myself if I only made $30 a day, I would be able to do this or that. As the years progress I went on to tell myself if I only made XX amount of dollars my life would get better. Now that I am making a decent amount of money now I can say okay life is better but it is not the money it is my lifestyle and my son that has enhance my

what I wanted to become. So after graduation I decided to explore my options at
As an adult you will be opposed with many difficult decisions throughout your life time, and deciding my major had to be one of the toughest decisions I’ve made in my short adult hood. Choosing my major was a tough decision for me because I knew my next four years of college would be the most vital years of my life for years to come. Weighing out all possible outcomes, likes, beliefs and dreams I finally came to the decision of my major.
Everyone at one point has to make a decision on what they want to be when they grow up. For me, that decision came rather unexpectedly and was a result of a new found interest due to self-discovery. It all began when I was around the age of 8 and I watched a documentary on aircraft. It documented all about planes, how they work and the science behind them. I was immediately captivated and gaining all that information as a young child really hit the spot in terms of a new found passion and interest that I could see myself later using. This passion stuck with me ever since as I have spent tons of spare time studying different types of aircraft and collecting model planes. It ultimately helped me with my answer to the question of what I wanted to be when I grew up as being an aeronautical engineer. It is not a career most would pursue, but it shows how self-discovery impacted me at a very young age and the impact is so log lasting that it has influenced most of the decision I make now in terms of courses I take at school and the extracurricular activities I am a part of. Without self-discovery, I was able to gain an understanding of where my interests lay, the abilities I have to acquire complex information and the feelings I had towards my new found interest and
Getting a job is probably the most worrisome matter for college seniors. Nowadays most students deem college education as an investment that can eventually bring profits in the long run in terms of a financially successful career. To this end, a great number of students major in the most lucrative majors, which are not their actual interests. Luckily, I am able to dive into the field I love in college, and it blends with my career goal perfectly. I like teaching and conducting research, so I hope to become a psychology professor at a research university some day.
Intro Deciding what you want to study during your college career can be a difficult and tedious task. This is due to fact that many young adults coming out of high school are unsure of what they want to do or what path to take career wise. It is also tedious because this requires that these individuals have to constantly try and explore new avenues so that they can find their passion in life. The path I chose to take when coming out of high school was entering the business school at Howard University.
I have a lot of confidence in succeeding in both my small and large goals, especially after learning how much my personality traits are inclined with my current major and my career goals. The personality tests I have taken confirmed to me that I have found a career path that I truly enjoy and that I know I will be able to succeed in. After struggling the first time I attended college, in major I was not suited for, I failed. Now that I have taken on a major that I deeply care about, the work load does not seem as overwhelming. It proves that when you care about something, it is much easier to continue and succeed. Now that I not only have a strong desire to accomplish my goals, but also a strong action plan to achieve them, I feel that there is nothing holding me back from achieving even the biggest goals I have for myself.
I’m a student at Tompkins Cortland Community College this is my first semester as a college student. I plan to go to college for four years and only be at TC3 for this one semester, then transfer to a four year school. College has grown around the world more than ever and more people are attending college more than ever. I have chosen to go to college because of the rewards after graduation. Yes it is another four years of school but by getting more education and an extended degree gives me more opportunities for better jobs and more money. The career I have chosen to study is business administration. I am hoping that it takes me to a great job managing a company or possibly being an accountant.
The career I wish to pursue is that of a stockbroker. I am extremely interested in the trading of stocks and financial holdings so the career of a stockbroker just seems to fit in with my overall plan. Numbers have also always been a fascination of mine and the trends of the economy and long term financial outlooks have often interested me greatly. Stock broking is a risky business that one needs to be prepared for highs and lows if choosing to pursue. You must understand what a stockbroker truly does to even begin to follow this as a life long career.
Now this is all I think about. At first the main career goal was always to make money, a significant wage that would allow myself and my family to live extremely comfortably. As time goes on and I have matured money is still a goal, I still not only want to be fairly compensated, but I need to be as does everyone really. More importantly on my list of goals is that I want to have a career where it is just that a career. I go to work every day and have that feeling of accomplishment that people are depending on me to show up and do my job to make their jobs easier. I want to at least in some way make a difference and do something that matters even if the masses may not know me or what I do my staff will feel my absence as well as my presence completely in a good way. My goals are to be successful and respected not only by my peers but even acquaintances and to finally have something that when the time is right I will actually be able to retire from and not have to be like so many in my family and work right up until I’m broken and can’t go on any longer. My main goal is to be something my children can be proud of and aspire to
The decision for me to become an industrial relations major was not really my own, I have to admit. My uncle, a human resource manager with Welch-Allyn, spent the majority of every holiday gathering throughout my senior year of high school trying to dissuade me from becoming a business major. He would tell me, "This is a rare undergraduate degree and a growing field." Then he would frighten me by saying, "We have very similar personalities, so you would be a fantastic H.R. manager." Eventually he convinced me that it was my best option. And I haven't regretted it.
Most of my life has been focused on my career. I never really thought about my life outside of high school until my junior year. It was not until this year that I realized all the things that were involved with my career interests. Although I am very committed to my career choices. I have chosen to major in elementary education and minor in photography.

To take responsibility to be the person that is the leader of my team. To help my vision come to life and be successful at it, I will need to reach my goals and gain knowledge. My wiliness to help others find their goals in life and them to accomplish them.
