My discipline

Being a prospective business major, my prospective field has various conflicts on a daily basis. Below I have listed information pertaining to my personal reasons for joining business and why people such as myself, and maybe even you, are interested in it.

In a business program, especially big ones like Eller College of Management, students are taught to think from various view points of a situation so that they can see all possible routes to success. In classes such as Management Information Systems you learn how to protect yourself and others from online hackers, viruses, and other negative effects of the internet. As well, they are to be taught how to access business programs, such as Microsoft Excel.

When People leave programs such as these, they often go on to law school/graduate school, large business firms, small family owned firms, or start their own business. The reason that most go onto law school is due to the fact that many places are more willing to hire nowadays when you have a law degree/masters degree because you have more of a mastery on information that will be beneficial to the business itself.

My personal goal in business is to go into Business Management and get certificate in Sports Management. I am hugely interested into sports and would like to dedicate my career to college or professional athletics. The one of the main management companies Octagon Sports. They manage many highly skilled MLB players.
Bleacher Report. Google Plus Bleacher Report Main Page

When it comes to reporting sports, the three leading companies are Bleacher Report, ESPN and CBS Sports. They all have major followings behind each sporting event. They lead on all social medias and on application downloads for all smart phones. ALl except bleacher report have their own televised sports show.


UPDATE:
By going back and looking at my classmates takes on their fields, especially from Isaak and Michael, I was able to see different standpoints on differing majors as well as my own. Being able to see their passion for it has made me go back into my post to reevaluate the way I composed the piece to make sure I was just as clear getting my point across.

  1. I've noticed that a lot of people around the U of A have declared business majors, so it's always interesting to hear what people plan to do with that major! I never really knew that a business major could lead into something like sports reporting. What exactly would you like to do though? It seems like you have mixed interests in sports management (in terms of players and teams) and sports reporting. Are they not necessarily exclusive? Anyway, I think it's cool you have a general idea of what you want to do with your future career, and even have a specific company in mind. :)
