Hi, my name is Aagash and it's been 3 years since I started College. I have been in this program for 2 years now. My glossary is to people that don't know what are the jobs in this field of study. My field of study is a very large one and there are a lot of job opportunities in the Commerce field. For example, I'd like to go to university after I'm done college, but I am still not sure what job I would like to do for the rest of my life. So, in this glossary, I would put 20 terms and most of it would be jobs. I will use Google to find my words and the definitions, but also the Actively Engaged Online book written by Nicholas Walker.
