I now am hoping to job shadow or gain experience from an internship position this summer in the management field. I feel like I gained a lot of valuable knowledge and information about the field overall. I learned that being in this type of management role requires a lot of investment in education and training. I am working on getting my bachelor’s degree in enterprise leadership hoping to further my education later on by getting my master’s degree in business.
