Why This Major?
I entered this university with the sole purpose of getting a degree in the major I chose for myself. But this fall trimester, I came across some freshmen that had not decided their major yet. Watching them confused and lost, I caught myself thinking about different subjects and fields I could have taken. Not that I’m having second thoughts or anything but, I just wonder how I ended up taking business studies and not anything else. Those freshmen seemed shambolic and here I am, assertive and unperturbed. That is when I realized that I always wanted this for me.
I come from a business family and I grew up watching my dad manage his business. Business has always been a part of my life and being raised in such business environment, I have always had a keen interest. My father’s dedication and determination never failed to fascinate me. I used to tag along with my dad to his work and observed him as he worked hard. It is not wrong if I say that he is the one who inspired me. He taught me everything about coffee plantation from the scratch. He even told me that the products that we produced are hundred percent organic and certified by organizations like FDA and USDA, which was quite impressive. At the time of establishment, we had the monopoly market, as people back home were not as big on coffee as they are here. Most of them preferred tea to coffee, and very little liked coffee.
I wanted to take over the family business and take it to the whole other level of. For that, when I was in the eighth grade, I choose business related subjects: accounts and economics. That was my first step into the business world. Later on, I started researching about business related stuffs over the Internet. The deeper I got into this, the more I realized that this is not like any other business in Nepal. This kept me motivated and made me want to hang on to family business and nothing other than that.
