UBC Commerce graduate, Tom Dobrzanski, is currently putting the finishing touches on his recent project, Monarch Studios. Mr. Dobrzanski, at the young age of 31, is on the path towards a successful career as he now enters the cut-throat music industry. He is at the envy of all business students, as he was able to combine his extensive education in business with his true passion of working with music – and he’s good at it. Working with indie bands such as Said The Whale and Hey Ocean! caught my attention personally, as they are some of my favourite bands. Working with well-known artists immensely boosts his credibility and his network, as he is now in a position to grow and expand his clientele. This article also included an interview with Tom himself, which only further convinced me that he is truly passionate about his career.

This article influenced me greatly because it reminded me of the versatility that a Bachelor in Commerce degree has to offer. The fundamentals that we learn in class provide us with a strong tool-kit to further explore endless career possibilities that we are truly passionate about.
