It has been 2 years.
Hours worked per week: On average, I work for 45 hours a week.
Salary range: $35,000

Best part of job:
The perks of this job is that I get to work with lots and lots of people who are the operators and drivers of the business. From that end, I plan the budget out so that they could execute it. My job isn’t a clerical position, therefore it’s meaningful.
There is no dull moment, especially in the marketing department, because something new happens everyday and new challenges are thrown into my direction. Personally, that makes my job interesting.

EDUCATION:
Degree(s):
BSD at UBC, Sauder School of Business, which is part of the UBC diploma.
School: 
UBC and CMA.
Advice:
The courses in CMA are very applicable to all forms of business. To run a well-oiled business, a well-planned strategy is needed.
Therefore, CMA will provide you with the skills and the various components for creating the strategies and plans. Fast-track programs will prepare you for the entrance exams.
I would highly suggest that anyone who wish to pursue into this to do a bachelor program in Commerce, either in UBC or SFU, because it will save you from spending too much time in school.

Camping and fishing. Basically anything that deals with the outdoors.

Upcoming vacation plans: 
I will be on a 6-month trip touring South America.

In five years, I see myself :
Applying my skills in the field of science. Personally, I would rather enjoy a well-balanced life.
Remember, live life to the fullest in all aspects.
