Hi blogging world,
My name is Samantha and I am a fourth year student at San Francisco State University. I am majoring in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing. Picking a major was very difficult for me, and I went through a lot of trial and error to come to the path that I am on now.
All throughout high school, I never had a "favorite" subject. I figured that once I got to college I would figure out what I wanted to do in the future. Then when I started out at San Francisco State, I automatically decided that I would be a communications major, because it was such a broad subject field, and also the classes were not very technically challenging. Then, as my first year came to a close, I realized that I shouldn't go to college if I was not challenging myself and learning something that would help enrich my life outside of school. I then decided to be a business major. I thought that business was well rounded and would be able to give me more real life experiences.
Once I decided to go into business administration, I dabbled in accounting and marketing. Ultimately I decided on marketing because I am fascinated by studying consumers and what drives them to make their purchasing decisions. I also love the idea that marketing is in everything. Every product and service available all have marketing plans in place to help them succeed.
This is my final year in school and I am excited to graduate and go out into the real world to start a career in marketing. There are so many different positions available that I am willing to start any and gain experience to figure out where exactly I want to take as my career path. From there, I just plan on working my way up the corporate ladder!
Your educational field sounds very interesting on the fact that marketing is in everything. I am currently majoring in Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting and I find it a little challenging sometimes. Is there a particular position you would like to begin in your career? With so many options out there in the world I hope the best for you.
ReplyDeleteI never knew what I wanted to be when I was growing up. When I was assigned a project on my future self, I just chose a random profession. I did my project on teaching so I can easily talk to any teacher on campus and interview them. I honestly never really considered teaching as one of my possible options as a career because I did not want to spend the rest of my life in school even though I loved being around little kids. I was always jealous of my peers who already had it figured out and I felt left behind. It wasn't until attending college that I found out there were more people like me who hasn't figured it out. But thanks to the exploration that college gives, it's great that someone can find a focus and enjoy what they will do their career of choice. I hope you can figure out an area in Marketing that you would love to work in. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteMarketing is a broad subject and can lead to a career in many different things. Hopefully by taking different Marketing classes at school, you can narrow down your options to what really interests you. Have you worked an internship to see some different options in the real world?
