A business student has a number of options in a wide variety of disciplines after graduating from college. Whether they want to get into the administration side, the customer service side, or even the marketing side, these can all be options available once the student has gotten the right tools. Those who may have an idea of which business division they want to enter should take the time to focus their courses accordingly, perhaps even earning a minor in addition to their business major.

Business management is often a major field for those with a business degree. While the business student just beginning their career may not be able to obtain a senior management position, it will be much easier to advance from the lower levels of management with a degree. Positions in middle or senior management often require a business degree to even be considered for the position.

While many may think of customer service as the hard work of the business model, there are opportunities for those majoring in business to have meaningful hands-on customer experience.

The area with the most opportunities for a major business might be marketing and sales. Those who excel in this part of the business can quickly move into a managerial position, as they are often recognized not for their politics but for their performance. Also, many sales jobs, especially when the clients are professionals like other companies’ sales, require their sales reps to have a management degree.
Large companies can market and sell established product lines.
For those looking to improve their options, sometimes an MBA in addition to a business major is the way to go. While many business graduates often want to pursue an MBA, which is a master’s degree in business administration, few actually do. Those who do have a clear advantage over those who simply have a degree in business administration. In some cases, if the person is already employed, the company may provide additional education to obtain an MBA at no cost to the employee. This can be a great incentive for a large company looking to take the next step.
