Introduction

Hello, I am currently starting my first semester at UF as a transfer student studying business. I was born in Huntington, New York but have lived most of my life in Sarasota Florida. I have an older sister who is 22 and currently is head of marketing for a small start-up company. I played lacrosse in high school and college. I like all board sports and started wakeboarding when I was 6. I previously attended the University of Miami for two years studying finance and entrepreneurship, but decided to leave as I got sick of going to class and felt that I was learning nothing applicable.  I took a semester off and traveled the country in my car and ended up in Huntington Beach, CA (which is where I live currently). I am still ambivalent about getting a degree, but thought that an online program would give me a lot more freedom to pursue other interests. I have worked valet jobs, tutored, and interned with a finance corporation. At the moment I have no specific career aspirations, rather lifestyle aspirations. I really like traveling and getting exposure to different cultures and ways of life - I don't want to be locked down to a particular city for a long time.  However, I am contemplating pursuing pro wakeboarding, or starting a flexible online business. Or working for a start up. Or becoming a pilot. Or a stuntman. Or an investment banker. Or a vagabond. I really have no idea...
