I have interviewed a family member, as accepted by Professor Goeller, about choices made in college. I interviewed my grandfather about college, because I knew he handled college, being in the service, a family, and a full time job. I knew he had many choices to make, and decided I wanted to interview someone personal so that I could form conclusions about choices in college. I learned that choices are very important in achieving success, in that students must stay focused, even if they are juggling many things. Although it is a busy time in every student's life, the right choices can lead you on the path to success.
What were the hardest choices made in college?
-It was an easy choice to go to college, but the hardest choice was the subject load. I had to go at night and I had a full time job. I had to make choices of things I could and couldn't do throughout the year.
Did you socialize in college?
-No. I went to night school and had a family.
What was your major?
-Business Administration
Did you get a job pertaining to your major? If so, what?
-Yes-Corporate Auditor for a major utility company
Did your social life affect your academics?
-No.
How did you finance college?
-G.I. Bill of Rights
Did your financial choices prove successful? Why?
-I did not have financial choices in college, my GI Bill covered the costs. I just had to be responsible and go to my classes and manage a home life as well.
Do you feel you made the right choices in college to ultimate success? Why?
-Yes. From high school and being in the service, I was always focused that one day I would probably be working in the accounting and financial disciplines at some future time. I stayed focused and went regularly to my classes, did homework, and managed my social life and family. I proved successful because I made a comfortable living for myself and my family.
