Is a Business Career for You?

What’s So Great About Business Careers?

Business professionals make the world work. They start and run small businesses that sometimes grow into well-known, multinational companies . They prepare and examine financial records (accountants) and help companies make decisions about spending money to attain profit (financial analysts and consultants). They supervise employees, oversee manufacturing and logistics departments, assist customers, and perform a wide range of duties that help businesses develop and produce products and services, and market and deliver to them customers. And these are just a few of the many job duties performed by business professionals. Business careers are available for people with high school diplomas all the way through doctorates . You can even train for some positions via an apprenticeship or through the military. These training methods—unlike college—are free, and you will earn a salary while you learn.
