Class Wrap-Up Paper

• Yes, before I took this class I thought that I wanted to pick my concentration in either finance or in marketing. I thought I would be really successful in both of the concentrations because of my people and arithmetic skills.
• I think I will still choose marketing or finance or I will strongly consider trying both. I have learned more about each of these concentrations in greater detail, and I am now more interested in both of them. I think I would do best at the analytical aspect of marketing though. And as for finance, I think that corporate finance would be the best fit for me, or financial advising.
• No, I have not changed my mind about my concentration. If anything I have just been more informed about them, and others, so I know that I would make the right decision doing either one. And now I know I absolutely couldn't do accounting, but could visualize getting a certificate in management, or CIS.
• I am less worried now than I was before. I wasn't sure if I was just picking the concentration for the glamour, fad, and/or money. But now I know what each one entails, and I feel like I could stick to them for awhile and be very satisfied with them. More information that I would value would be what the classes are like in each concentration, if they incorporate enough real world experience, are taught by teachers who are excited about the topic, and what the vigor is.
• I thought that the speakers were really great in providing information about the possible concentrations. I liked how excited they were about their concentration. Especially the CIS speaker. I think it is great to see, the day in the life of... before you make the decision. So many people just have an idea of what they think a concentration is, and I felt like they really broke down myths, and explained their roles in ways that we, as freshmen, could grasps, and did it all without being overbearing.
• I feel very relieved that I got into the Business school at CSU. More and more I have been realizing what a great honor it is to be accepted into the school as a freshman. I have known since sophomore year of high school that I wanted to be a business major, and I feel like this is the only major that really suites my personality and combines my skills as well in computer technology, mathematics, critical thinking, and creativity.
• Yes, I would. I really liked the last assignment we did on exploring careers. It really got me excited to take my upper level classes here at CSU. I think a career advisor would be extremely helpful in helping to narrow down my decision.
• I liked when we learned how to use the library databases. I have never done a company research before and I thought it was really useful. I will definitely use those tools when going on job interviews. I think that it will help me to be more professional, and that I am really interested in the job. I always learned to ask questions in interviews, and this will help me ask important questions, not just the cliche questions that everyone asks.
