So, the first question that probably comes to your heads right now is "Who is Jeff Reyes?" Well as my first post, I will gladly introduce myself briefly.
As I mentioned, I am currently enrolled in the Business Administration - Finance program at Sheridan College. At this point in my life, majority of people are expecting me to have already graduated or at least be in the senior year. Well, I took life in a different route.
I took about 2 years off after graduating high school. Reason being is that like most high school seniors, I did not know what I wanted to do with my life. I was just as confused as everybody else (well, not everybody, but you get my drift). One main point I live by is that I'm not going to commit myself in a college program just because my peers are taking it or my parents said so (unless of course, it actually interests me).
Surprisingly, I was offered a position as a travel consultant in a reputable company in downtown Toronto. Now this was a big step for me, considering I was coming from high school. But I took the step, and two years later, I am now back in college on the way to pursuing my career. Within those two years, I met a lot of respectable and valuable people. I earned experience in the corporate world that was more like an "on-the-job training." It also gave me an idea of the industries that I was and was not interested in. This helped me in deciding on which way I should pursuit my career in.
Now that I have experience, and with the knowledge I am currently acquiring in school, I will be ready to face the "real world" with confidence.
