Major
At least one should be an interest from PathwayU
I've always been drawn into the world of international trade and the detailed rhythms of business across cultures. This interest inspired me to choose International Business as my major in school. I was keen to understand the variety of global economies and the detailed forces that influence international business transactions. I thought that this understanding would enable me to make a significant impact in the world of global commerce
Sparked by Pathway's counsel, my educational mentor, I found myself caught by how Economics and Accounting combined. Its uses are countless, and there are many job possibilities. I liked how these two fields mixed to give a full picture of business-related financial and economic factors. This deep knowledge prepared me to handle issues and understand the hard parts of international business.
