C. G.

◈ Studied BSBA-Major in Management
◈ At Ateneo de Davao University
◈ Graduated 2001

Why did I choose BSBA in Management: I saw it as a course ideal for business. While I was still undecided, I knew that what I really wanted to have in the next few years of my life would be my own business where I don’t need to work 8 hours a day and that I can earn as much as I want. So I took this course in the hopes so I can be equipped with the fundamentals in business management.

About my college education: The course deals with business and my major is management. I learned much about how a business should be managed. The difficult subjects for me were accounting, calculus, and economics. The most enjoyable subjects were literature and history.

Passing exams wasn’t a piece of cake at times, but generally the exams aren’t that difficult if you’ve done your part in studying. A few of my classmates ended up repeating the exams in economics, accounting and calculus subjects.

In order to succeed in this course, one has to be diligent and studious, patient and determined to finish the course at all costs.

My current job: My current job is an officer-in-charge or manager of a jewelry store specializing in expensive cultured pearls here in a Mall here in Davao City.
I am the person responsible for handing daily operations and sales of the jewelry shop.

Am I using what I learned in college: Not everything that I learned in college was practical. Most of it now is no longer practical and applicable to my present job. However, the managerial skills I gained and financial concepts I learned are the most valuable things I’ve got from school.

How long did it take to find a job: After 6 months, I was hired in this present position/job. It was difficult to be employed because of the competition for just one position.

Do I recommend studying BSBA in Management: I truly believe that this course is great for those who want to be successful in business or any endeavor that requires managerial skills. If someone has a talent for business, this is one of the best courses to take to make use of those inert abilities you have. It is a fulfilling career once you learn how to grasp it's relevance, even to your daily life.

Right now I’m earning a good amount of income. When I started, I was earning a little above the minimum salary of 8,000 but sticking to my job and performing at my best each time led me to the financial position that I have today.

Advice to people who are thinking of studying this course: I recommend that one has to read a lot and learn as much about having and managing one’s own businesses in the future.
