Introduction

Hi, everyone.

            My name is Jeremy Osburn. I am twenty five years of age and am finally a senior at Eastern Michigan. My college career has kind of been all over the place. I started at Eastern Michigan five years ago, attended for two years and then transferred to Arizona State University. I had a great time in Arizona but ended up having to come back because the out of state tuition was expensive. With some classes that have not transferred back, it has taken me longer than I expected to graduate, but I can finally say that I will graduate in April, 2014.

            I started my college career as a flight student but ended up changing it to aviation management once I moved out to Arizona. Even though I enjoyed the flying aspect of the business, I believe that the management side suits my professional career better. I am unsure as to what exactly I want to do with my degree when I graduate. I started out wanting to become a director of an airport, which still intrigues me, but lately I have been talking to a family friend who sells corporate jets. I think it would be challenging and exciting to try and sell corporate jets to customers in the industry. A career like this would allow me to travel the world, and still be connected to the aviation industry

            I am from Monroe, MI, but currently live and work in Toledo, OH. It is a long commute to Eastern, but I only have to make the drive two days a week. Living in Toledo allows me to be close to work, friends, family, and I have also found a coaching job at the High School I graduated from. I coach the varsity boys’ hockey team at St. Mary’s Catholic Central in Monroe, MI. With work, school, and coaching I am always busy, but I wouldn’t want it any other way. Coaching is something that I enjoy and hope that I am able to continue in the future.

            Once I graduate, I hope to find a job/career in something that I enjoy doing. Hopefully this senior year will provide me with a greater sense of direction as to what I need to search for to reach my long term goals. I understand that I may not find my dream job at first, but my goal is to find something that I love doing.
