Why I major in Business Administration

I have studied BA for almost two years and am going to graduate. To retrospect the reasons why I choose this subject, it was a long story.

As soon as I graduated from junior high school, I enrolled in a business school, National Taipei College of Business. That means I hardly touched other major in the rest of my life. My parents are typical businessmen having a small restaurant. During my learning age, what I've learned from them are business ways of earning money, so I thought I aspired to be an artful businessman. Though I found I really want to be a veterinarian few years later, everything was too late. After five years studying in business, business-relative subjects seem to be my only choose. This is why I step in the field.

The second reason is that I failed in my transfer exam. I tried to major in Finance (those are two different subjects.) But some ridiculous things happened sequentially. What I’m about to tell is all truth. I attended only three schools transfer exams. First one is National Taipei University (NTPU). I was really stupid enough to fill my answers into wrong blanks and was punished by 50 scores! Second one is National Cheng Kung University (NCKU). The day before the exam, there was a big fight between my brother-in-law's and my family. I had mediated their argument until the morning, then rushed to Tainan without sleeping. No matter how much coffee I drank that day, I still fall asleep during the test. The last school is National Chengchi University (NCCU). When the test was about to beginning, I found I left my test certification at home. I rushed back to get it and late for my test. It made me nervous during the period of test. The rest is a history, I failed the three exams.

The last and the most influential reason is that if we wanted to study in NTUST, we could only choice Business Administration department. There wasn’t any alternative in this school. However, before making a decision, I checked the faculty and curriculum on the internet and I found the department is a good launching pad to my coveted Finance. Not only did it include extensive courses, but you could still choice one of the theme of monograph and research what you’re interested in. Teachers here have practice experience. Take my financial management teacher, Mr. Shie, for example, he was a former CFO of CLSA (香港里昂證券). This was a big attraction for me, so I registered.

All in all, I am still glad of majoring in Business Administration. I deeply believe that I will study harder to major in what I really want and be more competitive in the future.
