Strengths:

I like this major because it goes in hand with what I would like to do for a living and part of my current job. I think it also opens up opportunities for me to own my own business and know how to manage it. I feel that this is a good fit with what I want to do, and my interest in owning my own place or working in an environment that I will be management for a corporation. This degree will take be 5 to 6 semesters to complete, which is a good thing, my husband would be done with his degree and hopefully already working

Weaknesses:

I think that some of the higher classes will be more intense and time consuming. I am worried that it will take me some study time away from my family.

Opportunities:

I think that this career will give me a greater amount of choices to pick from to working in many aspects of business, from owning my own to being in management positions and in return receiving a good income.

Threats:

Time constraint while working may become a problem. I may want to look into similar degrees that don’t require as much time.
