“Studying business is great preparation for life. You not only learn how to manage finances in a business; you learn how to manage your own finances in a smarter way. You learn how to manage other people — tell me a life where you don't have to manage other people and be managed. And you learn not just to make a marketing campaign, but to market yourself and emphasize your strong points.”
