My Major

I’m not sure if I mentioned this in a previous blog, but I am currently a student at the University of Toledo, I am majoring in business but have not declared an official major yet. However there is only a month or two left until I need to officially choose what area of business I want to major in. One occupation I have been interested in since high school is accounting. I became interested in pursuing this career after working at a local golf course in high school. My supervisor at the golf course asked me to come in twice a week and do some clerical work for him. This work included keeping track of our weekly sales from each department and organizing the totals in a spreadsheet. I found that I was very good at this job because of my knack for paying attention to detail. I then decided to take an accounting class in high school and, not only did I do very well in the class, but I also enjoyed it. Since then, I have decided that accounting is the best career path for me. However, I wanted to see if I would still do well in a college accounting class. Well, I am pleased to say that I am doing very well in my accounting class and have officially decided to major in Accounting. I plan on getting my Master’s degree in accounting, and am considering a double major because of all the benefits it could provide. I plan on becoming a Certified Public Accountant and hope to someday work for a public accounting firm.
