Hi, my name is Ben Rich and
Hi, my name is Ben Rich and I am from Munster, IN which is in the region. I am a second semester junior studying psychology. I transferred here from a small school in Kansas after my freshman year and I also switched my major from Elementary Education to psychology. I plan on going into sales after I graduate and if that doesn't work out I plan on getting a masters and going into counseling. I took this course to get a litte business background and I am confident that I will learn many neat things about the business world through this course. I am huge Chicago Cubs/Bears fan and I enjoy going to Bears and Cubs games.
