Why Education Is Important

Education was always important to me and I was always interested in pursuing a degree to further my education and career goals and it is my hopes of getting a Master's of management degree at the University of Phoenix. I currently have a bachelor's of arts in sociology with a minor in human services through St. Norbert College. After my experience of being an after school coordinator and program director at both the YMCA and now the Boys & Girls Club of Dane County I found that I need more experience and education in management and how to manage a business and the staff I would supervise. If I pursued a master's of management degree at the University of Phoenix I would learn to how to better manage my staff and even grow within the Boys & Girls Club organization by learning the skills of critical thinking, profitable growth opportunities, synthesizing business concepts and strategies as well as how manage a cross-cultural environment.

In today's economy and non-profit business world I feel it is critical for an employee who is in the position of a manager or any kind of director to have an education in business management. It is one of the most sought out degrees today and has great value for any person to have a background in the management field. My personal goal is to always work in the community in some kind of human service field as a director of executive director and I already have the bachelor's in sociology and human services to pursue my passion of working in a community but do not have the educational background in managing my staff or the business I am working for and how to have it grow in capital growth. A degree from the University of Phoenix would help me to take the next step needed to continue with my personal career path of becoming a director.
