Business is a popular field that many enter. Starting in college, many students decide to major in business, a discipline that covers classes in finance, management, and marketing. When it comes time for internships, now a graduation requirement for many bachelor's degree business programs, students pursue one or more of these fields to get experience in a professional environment. Upon graduation, entering the workforce is more of the same. In fact, according to the latest PayScale College Salary Report, the most popular careers for those with a bachelor of science in business administration are human resources manager, retail operations manager, administrative assistant, retail assistant manager, project manager, customer service representative, office manager, human resources manager, and human resources director.
As you can see from this list of entry- to mid-level career options for business majors, a future in management is a possibility. The top of the line for many business management jobs is being the head of a corporation. A chief executive officer, chief financial officer, or chief operational officer is responsible for the future and growth of a company. They plan and implement strategies for financial growth and marketing, and these spread down to be executed by the different departments of the company.
Other business management jobs involve a specialized skill set. After many years in the workforce and an MBA degree, someone may aspire to a head of marketing or finance department. A project manager, a possible marketing management position in the business world, is needed in nearly all companies to oversee the execution of various projects and their implementation and to make sure that these projects stay on budget.
Asset management is another field for many advancement opportunities in business. Although having extensive education and experience is needed for the field, upper-level positions range from research analysts, financial advisors, and portfolio managers, all of whom give advice on, manage, or put together portfolios of stocks, bonds, or a combination of both for the highest return.
