Currently I am doing my Masters in the same field and will graduate in April 2012. My interest in the field of business enabled me to look at everything from “management” perspective. Hence I developed a basic understanding of how things actually work in the work environment. This gave me a professional target and also made me realize that my capability of “work” relates to practical knowledge of Business.
