Essay about My major is business accounting. At least 1300 words

Your essay will persuade university students to take your advice on how to prepare and succeed in your selected major. Always remember that you should help an audience understand "why" before "how." Therefore, your essay will explain the benefits of the major (why it is worth pursuing) before you explain the necessary skills, requirements, schedule, attitude, etc. (how to succeed). If you learn of any challenges - such as classes with low pass rates - be sure to prepare your readers for these challenges.

To be persuasive, you need to be credible. Therefore, you will research your topic thoroughly. Your essay will provide cited support (quotes, paraphrases, examples, etc.) for all assertions. You have learned how to find secondary sources, such as books, articles, and credible online pages. For this assignment you will add primary research to the mix. Primary research requires that you go directly to the source rather than getting the information second-hand. Examples of primary sources are experiments, surveys, and interviews. For your "major" essay you may conduct a survey of students in the major. However, the best primary source for this essay is an interview with an expert in the major.
