Why I Want To Pursue A College Degree

My motivation to pursue a college career is a reflection of my desire to create something that will last. I want to build something that I will be able to be handed down to future generations. I want to start a business rooted in engineering and building various types of machinery and equipment. In order to realize my dream of doing what I love, and making a living by doing so, I have come to understand that a formal education in business administration is necessary for my success.
