Hello everyone, my name is Shabab, I am a first semester transfer student from QueensBorough Community College (QCC). My intended major is accounting, I chose this major sometime during my sophomore year.
At QCC I was a Business Administration student. When starting college I had no real passion or direction in terms of what I would like to pursue and was suggested business by a few seniors. I thought that being a Business major would be me learning how to make a good sum of money so it was the major I selected. By my sophomore year I had a better understanding of what Business was, what the major encompassed, and I also had more direction in my own life. I took the second accounting course and heavily enjoyed it and the subject came to me naturally so I decided to pursue that as a career. This along with the fact that some of the business majors didn’t peak my interest, seemed a bit more difficult to me (not an enjoyable difficult) or seemed to cover material I could learn through other sources, all helped me decide on the accounting field.
