Class Wrap-up Paper

  • I had a concentration in my mind before I took this class, and it was Management because my parents were entrepreneurs and their positions always drew an interest to me. I also was a part-time manager at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory in Colorado Springs and I loved the business aspect of my job.
  • I now have a good understanding of all the concentrations and some other ones that I would choose rather than Management are Computer Information Systems, and Marketing.
  • I have not really changed my mind about Management as my concentration. However, if I did choose a different concentration it would be Computer Information Systems because the jobs that are being offered in the future are in high demand. That concentration would be if I absolutely do not like management.
  • I am less worried about choosing a concentration now than at the beginning of the semester because I have more information about management, and if anything am more sure that I want it as my concentration. There is really no other information that I need because I am quite sure that management is going to be my concentration.
  • All of the speakers were helpful in providing information. The one that provided the best information was Teri Butler for CIS. She was the most active speaker and really knew how to convince me that CIS was the concentration to choose.
  • I am a little concerned with having business as a major. After being in college for eight weeks I am not positive that business is what I want to go into. On the other hand, I am not sure what other major I would choose. So, I am going to stick with business until I graduate because it is a great degree to have if I needed it to fallback on. I really like the business school, and how the departments work, but what is setting me back the most is math. I am not the best person with math and am worried about the courses that I am going to have to take because they seem like they are going to be difficult. Regardless of how I feel, I am going to keep my major in business until I graduate.
  • I would feel comfortable meeting with a Career Advisor in my Junior or Senior years, possibly even next year, but for now I don't think it is really necessary for me to meet with one. For my Freshmen year, I am just getting a feel for business and am not in the need for a career path right away. Once I get a good sense of what I want, I will feel comfortable with meeting a Career Advisor.
  • The information that I received in the class that was most useful was anything about the Career Center. There are a number of things that are available to CSU Students that everyone should take advantage of that can really help with a job once we graduate. I am really looking forward to using the Career Center and the Fairs to help with me with my career.
