Major: Marketing; Finance minor

On The Economy: I wouldn't say I'm worried about the future—the future is the part I'm excited about! I know that I've been given the tools and have the drive necessary to succeed and excel. It's just that feeling of unknown right now that is unsettling. It's a lot of pressure to have to convey to a company just how much THEY need YOU.

On Future Plans: As of right now, I will definitely be entering the workforce. I've talked a lot with my advisors and parents about other options such as grad school, and I think it would benefit me more to enter the working world, get some experience under my belt and then pursue graduate school.

On Majoring in Business: Times may be tough in the financial world, but if I hadn't majored in business, I wouldn't have the knowledge and understanding to analyze what is going on. This is a time that will go down in history, and to be able to study it, understand it, and live it, is remarkable.
