"The sports industry was definitely for me, but I wasn’t guaranteed to land such an opportunity in my dream field. My time at emlyon had a major say in where I find myself today. My current job requires a lot of autonomy, organization, and self-motivation, all skills honed by my Master’s studies. The school provided me with the impetus to study to the next level in order to realize my professional dream. Taking this choice of MSc and career path represents quite an investment and I was determined to make it all worthwhile."
