Hello, my name is Nate Roy. I am an Accounting major, so my dream job is going to have to do with Accounting. My dream job would be to work for the Boston Red Sox. I would want to be their accountant and financial consultant for the team. This has been my dream job since I my junior year in high school when I found that Accounting is what I want to do with my life. In my job the GM or the owner would have to come to me for a budget for the team. I would be telling them how much money is already on the books with the players the team currently has and how much money their is to spend on free agents. This would also mean I would have a say in trades with the team as well. I would again have to tell them whether the team would be able to afford it by looking at the contracts of each player in the deal and with the terms of the deal. So being the accountant for the Boston Red Sox would be my dream job and I hope to one day obtain that job.

The young entrepreneur I most admire is Mike Zhang. He took the hobby of arisoft and made it into a sport. He made the guns more accessible by cutting the prices in half. A set used to cost about $400 and after visiting family in China, Mike found that he could sell the guns for $150 and still make money on them. When he returned home he started his company, Airsoft Megastore. Zhang, is moving the company into a 47,000 square foot facility, which is double the size that he currently has. While making millions of dollars annually, he has made the sport of arisoft cheaper and a lot more accessible for people. So by what he has done single handedly to the sport, has forever changed it. That is why I find Mike Zhang admirable, because of what he has done to the game of Airsoft.

  1. Hey Nate, Accounting is one of my majors! There is so much you can do with the accounting field. If you want to get into the budget side of accounting it’s called a budget analysis. You can either have your own practice or even work in a government facilities. A budget analysis is responsible for managing and developing a company’s financial plans. It’s a great path to go down, especially since you want to work for the red socks, they’re my favorite team. It sounds like an awesome and rewarding job. Maybe you can do an internship with them because they do have one, on the plus side they also pay.
    Mike Zhang seems like a smart fella. I personally like shooting my airsoft gun. They are pretty expensive, but wicked fun. It’s also cool that he’s doubling the size of his facilities, because of how popular his company really is.
