Why I major in Business Administration-II

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

The first reason is the affection of environment in which I grew up. As soon as I graduated from junior high school, I was admitted to National Taipei college of Business(台北商專). That means I had less chance to touch other majors than business-related majors. Moreover, my parents are typical businessmen having a small restaurant. During my learning age, what I’d learned from them are business ways of earning money, so I thought I was aspired to be an artful but wise businessman. Though I found I really wanted to be a veterinarian few years later, everything was too late. After five years studying in business, business-related subjects seemed to be my optimum choice. This is why I steped in the field.

The second reason is the failure of transfer exam. I tried to major in Finance, which is different from BA. Unfortunately, some ridiculous and amusing things happened sequentially. What I’m about to tell is all truth. I attended only three schools transfer exams. The first one is National Taipei University (NTPU). I was really stupid enough to fill my answers into wrong blanks and was deducted by 50 scores! The 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 begin, I found my test certification was left at home. Rushing back to get it and being late for my test made me nervous during the whole period of test. The rest is a history, I failed the three exams.

The last and the most influential reason is that if I want to study in NTUST, I can only choose Business Administration department. There isn’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 does it include extensive courses, but you can still choose one of the themes of monograph such as Human Resources, Marketing, and Operating Management, etc. and research what you are interested in. What is more, teachers here are sophisticated. Take my financial management teacher Mr. Shie and human resource teacher Mr. Liou for example, Mr. Shie was a former CFO of CLSA (香港里昂證券) and Mr. Liou is a consultant of many small business. I expected to be a man of experience, so I decided to register here and major in BA finally.

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