HEECHAN YANG

I am a student interested in listening to music and connecting with different social media platforms and other music-related devices. Furthermore, my parents wanted me to have a science-related job, so I tried to listen to various science-related courses. Still, most of the ones that interested me were biology and chemistry. However, I went to UW-Madison and attended science courses such as ZOOLOGY 152 and CHEM 343. Still, I felt limited in listening to the courses in depth and getting less interest than expected. Therefore, I tried to talk with my parents about this situation, and they asked me, 'It would be good for your future career to choose another position of the major that you want to work with. It is important to be interested in yourself to focus on those for a long time.' After listening to this, I changed my mind to transfer to the major of Life Sciences Communication, with having counseling with my advisor, because this would be a good opportunity for me to apply to various fields with Life Sciences, which was new for me to be heard and interested in the previous major that was very limited to do that. More importantly, it would have many opportunities for many fields of career relating to this significant, so I changed to this major.

After this, from UW-Madison, I heard of many significant LSC courses, including many other music courses, to improve my market skills to apply for that job position. This process has helped me to make a starting point of getting an interest in going into marketing. Especially for the marketing, I had more interest in music and radio ads to go in depth. Furthermore, the experience at UW-Madison with different projects with biology and LSC and courses in various fields made a firm decision for me to have a consistent path of working in marketing. The courses 'information radio' class for LSC 360 and the case studies for LSC 640 were the core courses that helped develop my skills in my primary and marketing positions. These have strong support for me to make a future career to build up and more opportunities to participate in many different activities besides this university.
