Bringing a business idea to reality and maintaining business success require a team of people from the "big picture" visionary to the technology manager to the detail-oriented office administrator who keeps things running smoothly. Although manufacturing, technology, retail, and other for-profit companies certainly require the skills of business career graduates, business skills are not specific to private sector. Academic, medical, and government institutions as well as other non-profit organizations also benefit from the contributions of employees in business careers.
You may prefer to be in a position of authority managing people and focusing on the business plan, or perhaps you excel at managing details as a project manager. Artistic talent can pay well in an advertising career, and business skills combined with a range of other abilities can help you in many business careers such as operations management, accounting, finance, marketing, or sales.
