Academic Articles 2

Just a note for those whom may read my paper… This is just my opening paragraph and does not include any of my academic articles. I have been crazy busy this week and work with business meetings and I plan on visiting the library on Sunday.
Business, it is often thought of a last resort academic plan. One of those things that students take up when their other academic aspirations of law school of med school don’t turn out exactly how they planned. This is at least what I have heard, when talking to other business student or other people in business industry. One of the most common responses I hear when I ask people “How did you get into business?, is either “Well I wanted a degree that I could easily find a job in” or “I didn’t get into the program of my first choice and my credits transferred over to a business program. ” This is not the case at all for me, I am going to school for Business because it is my passion. (My degree the that I am in pursuit of is a Bachelors in Business Administration, with a major in finance and a minor in Accounting) The reason why I decided to go to school for business and in the end hope to become a corporate investment banker is because I love the world of not only business but everything that goes along with it, economics, finance, accounting and marketing. I often get asked how did you ever get into finance? Most people who work in it don’t have a passion for it, they do it because of the high salary. In my case the high salary is just an added bonus, I could not spend the rest of my life working in a profession that I didn’t love and that didn’t intrigue me. So how I am so absolutely sure that I will love my new career as much as I think I will. Well the ultimate test so far for me is that I work in a bank as a customer service representative (Basically I process all the personal and small business account transactions and account maintenance and advise customers which accounts to consider.) When I first applied for the position, I applied not only because I wanted a better paying job, but I wanted to ensure that what I going to school for is what I truly want to do. As of right now I love what I do. (I count money all day for a living, who wouldn’t love that) The aspect that I love most about it, is truly the experience. Every day when I go into work I learn so much not only from my coworkers but the customers as well. It is very interesting to see the different routes that people take when investing their money. Now that it is established why I decided to go to school for finance here is a bit more information on the subject. The following paragraphs consist of different articles about the world of business and finance.
