There are a lot of steps that I must take to obtain my career goals in business. Many may
approach their goals in different ways than others. I myself have a three step plan that I
think will help me be very successful. First I must know the importance of a college
education in the workplace, second I must obtain knowledge of all aspects of business and
thirdly I must further my education at Jackson State and be successful.
A college education will prepare me for a professional career by providing a more indept
course curriculum, opportunities for on the job training, and will enhance communication
as socialization skills.
My goal is to pursue a career in Business Management. I realize with just a one-year
course of Business Applications I in high school will not adequately prepare me to reach
my goal. A highschool education is only an introduction to the educational background that
I will need to prepare me for a successful career.
A college education will provide opportunities for hands on experiences through
work-study programs, co-op and internships that will provide real life settings of what to
expect on an actual job.
A college education will also give me a chance to build up good communication and
socialization skills. Interacting with people of different races and backgrounds will prepare
me to deal with the people I’ll face in the workforce.
