Terrence Foushee - On pursuing a business major (clip)

Interviewed by Kathryn Wall on July 23, 2024

Kathryn Wall (KW): You mentioned that you were a business major when you came right out of high school. What made you inclined in that direction initially?

Terrence Foushee (TF): I don’t know. [laughter] I don’t know at all. I think that my self-perception and my family kind of being recognized, my mother being in politics, I thought that business might be a way that I would – It would be cool to say, “Oh, I'm a business major.” I’m at some point going to start my own business or I’m going to be a corporate guy, and I have absolutely no business acumen nor did I have any plans of truly developing one [laughter]. So it was difficult going into college as a business major and very quickly realizing that I wasn’t interested in what I was learning. But kind of trying to build an image of what I wanted people to see of myself as a college student, I think was why I chose business.
