Are you a Tycoon material like Donald Trump?

My grandmother was a businesswoman and so was my grandfather. My parents were also businessmen. They wanted me to become one also but I told them that this field does not interest me at all. During my 15th birthday, they gave me a PC game that they hope will peak my interest in the field of business because it had the same effect to the daughter of my mom's "kumare" and the son of dad's "pare". My parents ordered it from amazon.com.

It was Donald Trump's Real Estate Tycoon PC game. You're going to be like one of the contestants from The Apprentice. In the game, you're one of Donald Trump's new employees and your task is to prove yourself to some of the prominent developers in the globe. You'll be given a small amount of money which is a few million dollars. With this money, you will compete by buying empty lots and develop them into buildings, hotels, restaurants and the like. Your goal is to generate revenue and maintain the establishments. You also have to attract customers so that your income is greater than your expenses. 

I actually had fun playing the game and it peaked my interest in real estate. This game inspired me to buy properties when I grow up. I plan on investing in real estate after graduating. :P
