For business school candidates who have their hearts set on getting those high-paying jobs in finance, accounting, marketing, and other specialties, deciding on the right academic concentration is key. Your specialty will be something that you hold all your life and that consumes a great deal of every day, so it must be something that you enjoy, but also something lucrative. Here are some of today’s most lucrative specialty business fields. Do any of them resonate with you?
- Accounting
- Advertising
- e-commerce
- economics
- entrepreneurship
- finance
- hospitality management
- human resources
- information systems management
- international business
- marketing
- non-profit management
Deciding to pursue a specialty such as one of the above, and even finding sub-specialties beneath each of these, focuses your abilities to a fine point. This makes you a great job candidate because it shows how dedicated to and informed about that one topic you really are. A general business degree does little to inform a hiring manager about your special skills, so be sure that when you select a major and a business school, you hone in on the subject areas that interest you most, and become an expert in those arenas.
