Career- Delta Sigma Pi

I couldn’t reserve an actual workshop on STARR because the Market Expo event was quickly filled up and that was the only academic workshop available, so instead I chose the second best thing and will discuss about a panel I attended back in October. It was the last event for the fraternity Delta Sigma Pi, where they invited two sisters and brothers to talk at a panel and there was a networking session afterwards. The panel itself last for an hour and half, and the session went on the last remaining time for half an hour, so the total event was two hours from six to eight. It took place in room 251, and the most memorable thing about the whole event was one of the speakers. I don’t exactly remember her name, maybe it was Sunny, it could’ve been the other sister, but I remember her story the most. She worked for marketing, but that was never her intended field. Though we hear it all the time how people switch to a major they’re more passionate about, it’s different when your listening to a live person describing in detail. She explained how she was first in accounting, but she didn’t have a feel for it until she discovered marketing. There she found it to be more her style, more creative and not having to wear business attire every single day for the job. Leggings and comfy fitted-clothes were more like it. As she went on, I thought about my career path, since I chose accounting on a whim anyway. In fact, I don’t think I’m cut out for accounting with tedious formatted spreadsheets and plain e-mails for eight hours a day, for 40 hours a week, for 2,080 hours a year. I don’t think I’m cut out for business either. Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture to accompany this blog post this time around, so you’re going to have to take my word for it.
