The professions we pursue

The profession I would like to go into is business; I want to open my own small business. I have owned and operated my own small business before. The business was a bicycle company based out of Philadelphia PA. I primarily sold merchandise such as shirts, hats, stickers, hooded sweatshirts, and bandanas. Only at the end did I actually start getting bicycle parts manufactured. In total I made over 4,000 dollars profit and it made a nice contribution to my college tuition.

My major is Sport Administration. I am really interested in working in the area of sports. I need a career that pays decently and has a lot of job openings.  I would like to be the facility manager of a fitness center. I feel that getting the chance to manage a multi- million dollar facility will benefit me greatly in managing a smaller more controlled environment such as the cigar shop I would eventually like to open.

I really enjoy cigars and I feel that I have an excellent sense of judgment when it comes to the finer things in life. I know that there are many things that I still need to learn but that is what life is about. I have been smoking and buying cigars for the past four years and have had quite a large variety from many different countries. I have found that South Africa produces a very nice cigar.

As like many family members in my family, their college major does not reflect what they actually end up doing in the future. My sister Nina Graduated from Johns Hopkins with a degree in cognitive science, when she got out she stated “what am I going to freaking do with this! I really enjoy the subject but the career opportunities are limited.” She now has her masters in business and is pursuing her own business ventures. I feel that your major does not always reflect what you will end up doing in the future. I am interested in sport administration now, but I also know I will be going to get my masters in business.
