I decided to take this journey towards my bachelor's degree, in business administration about 1 year ago. I am hoping to explore different career options before making my final decision. Currently I work as an accounts payable clerk for a manufacturers plant. I have been roaming around a little, but I think I am finally heading to the right destination. Before choosing my current major, I was a physics major at University of North Florida. I've had enough relaxation, it's time to start this new adventure! I wish everyone the best!!
