Blog Post 2

Before I read the article I thought how crazy is this person, now I am 50/50 and can understand some choices she had made. If I was an applicant at her business, I would never even be able to walk in the door. I have the worst grammar and punctuation known to man. I can see where in the position it would be important to be accurate on detail, but on the other hand if a person more qualified is turned down because of a mistake and not knowing grammar to the T, is ridiculous and a form of discrimination. I guess that is the advantage business owners have. They can hire who they want, choose why to or why not to hire people, and where it say they do not discriminate, HA YEAH RIGHT! 

My Introduction

My name is Shawn Opgaard. I live in Faribault MN with my wife and two kids. I work full time at Ryt-Way as a line lead. My schedule is pretty tight with work, school, and spending time with my family. Some interests/hobbies I have are Hockey, Xbox, outdoor activities, and spending time with family. My main goal is to succeed and continue to progress in different situation that approach me in life.

I am pursuing a bachelor’s degree in business science. One day I hope to own a business that will continue to grow and am successful. I am not sure what kind of business I want to start yet, but I have a few in mind. Continuing my education is important to me because starting a business can be hard and without proper knowledge of business, communication, economics, math, writing, marketing, etc. you are only cheating yourself and hindering your chances of being successful. Plus if it comes down to it, I can always use my degree to become a supervisor which is also fine with me. Thanks for reading my introduction/blog.
