My name is Jack Brown and Im currently a student enrolled at Jamestown Community College, where Im currently working on obtaining my associates degree in business. I will then be attending Binghamton University in the Fall 2019 semester. During my experience with continuing my education, my goal is to attain a career where I can use my accounting skills combined with a strong analytical business background to help formulate informed decisions in the world of business. Before I decided to attend college, I wanted to join the military after high school. Unfortunately, I was disqualified because of complications with my medical history. I then joined the workforce to explore what other options that were available to me. I spent a solid two years working full time to finally decide that it was time I enroll into college. I decided to major in business upon enrolling and chose JCC for their affordability and the ability to transfer into a SUNY
school after two years. The reason I chose to major in business is because I was exposed to it while working full time and I always wanted to understand how it operated as a whole rather than just my particular position. I also made the choice to attend JCC so I can adjust to the college life at my own pace and have more time to think about which particular field in business that I would like to pursue. Upon enrollment in JCC I took a few accounting classes that I found rather more enjoyable than the other classes I took. After doing more research, I decided I wanted to pursue accounting because its all about the inner workings of business and it informs me about how the business operates as a whole, something Ive always been interested in. I learned many skills while attending JCC and even a job in my field. My skills in accounting will provide businesses with the accurate and correct information to obtain their financial/managerial goals.
