“I’ve really wanted to take an economics major. So I’ve been focused from the beginning, no matter what, to take economics studies. But the more time passes, I prefer to take Business Administration. At first, I wanted the one at the Faculty of Economics and Business but now I’m interested in Business Administration since it covers a wider area of knowledge,” explained Jasmin.
