Undergraduate / "A competitive problem solver" - Georgetown MSB Supplement [3]
Prompt: Discuss the factors that have influenced your interest in studying business.
A doctor, a teacher-no, an astronaut. Like most children, my dream job changed on a day to day basis. I had never had a set career path for which I knew I would be destined. When it came time to pick a college major, I was lost. Do I pick a engineering, humanities, or maybe social sciences? Although my major was up in the air, I knew that I loved solving problems and the thrill of competition.
Life is filled with questions, and I have always enjoyed finding the answers. Whether it be figuring out a calculus problem or giving a friend advice, finding an answer gives me a feeling of satisfaction for which there is no substitute. This desire to solve any question which may arise has greatly influenced my choice of a career in business. In today's global economy, problems are constantly arising, and I believe the skill set I currently posses is perfectly suited for the challenges of our current marketplace. For example, I hope to one day help businesses maximize potential while making their company better off with the skills I will attain through a degree in business. Solving major issues, such as the efficiency of the business sector, would satisfy my desire to find answers while simultaneously completing a task I find fulfilling.
Competition is a driving force in my life as well as in our economy. I always strive to achieve at the highest level. Whether it be pushing myself to gain new tumbling skills to become a more competitive cheerleader or studying so I can get the best grades possible, I always strive to become more ambitious in every aspect of my life. This mentality is one which would be very beneficial in the business world. By pursuing a business degree, I can use my competitive nature to my benefit, helping me surpass not only my own expectations, but also an employer's. Whether I am given the task to create an innovative marketing campaign or to make a quality product while maximizing profits, the competitive aspect of my personality will drive me to be successful.
Business is a factor in everyday life. It a subject which is dynamic and complex. I want to pursue a subject in which I can continually improve and there is no limit to the knowledge which I can attain. Business fits perfectly with this goal. Although I am not completely sure what concentration within business I will ultimately end up with a degree in, business fits well with my personal goals and skills leading me to be confident with my choice in applying to the McDonough School of Business.
