1.Business. The field of business includes all the jobs involved in the flow of goods and services through the economy. Obviously, this is a huge field - including everything from corner stores and local businesses to multinational corporations. Business is constantly evolving in response to changes in consumer preferences, technology, market conditions, politics, the economy, and many other factors. Business training and education are broad topics, including everything from economics and math to history and political science. Business programs are available at the associate's, bachelor's, and master's degree levels. Certificate and diploma programs offer specialized training with a more narrow focus.

2.Marketing/Communications Marketing, public relations, and sales executives are the first line of contact between a business and the public. When a company has goods or services to sell, the PR, marketing, and sales executives are responsible for communicating and interacting with consumers, the media, and other external groups to make sure the company succeeds. These job descriptions have changed enormously over the last decade with the advent of new technologies and new markets. Sales, marketing, and PR professionals are at the forefront of these developments and have redefined how companies do business. Training in these fields includes business writing, media and advertising, and marketing theory.

3.Human Resources. What is the key asset of any company? If you said, "the company's employees" then you may be a good candidate for a career in human resources and organizational management. As companies grow, change, shift strategy, and adjust to new market conditions, human resources professionals are responsible for making sure the company has the right employees to get the job done. This is a more complicated task than it sounds, requiring leadership skills and knowledge of business strategy, organizational management, recruiting, marketing, law, and management. Human resource managers also do pretty well, earning on average close to $75,000 per year, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

4.International Business Do you have a good head for business and enjoy traveling and communicating with people all over the globe? If so, a career in international business could bring out the best in you. By studying international business, you'll stay relevant in today's global economy by taking a worldwide approach to product development, production, and marketing. Most programs cover topics such as: international business operations, foreign exchange, customs, importing, exporting, and trade controls. In addition to building a strong foundation in business principles, many international business programs also offer training in foreign languages.

5. Accounting/Finance With changes in the business climate, new accounting rules, and recent financial upheaval, trained finance and accounting professionals are in high demand and play a key role in almost every organization. Accounting and finance professionals may work for a company or focus on the personal needs of clients. As well as a strong grounding in mathematical skills, accountants and finance professionals also study economics, tax law, budget analysis, financial planning, and business accounting software programs like Quickbooks. Accounting and finance programs come at all levels, from certificates to master's degrees.

6. Management Is it your dream to run your own company or sit in the corner office? Then a management program could be for you. Management programs can prepare you to lead organizations and people in today's ever-changing business world. Managers are responsible for a company's success or failure as well as for the satisfaction and productivity of other employees. This can be a big job with a lot of pressure and stress. However, for the right people, management is exciting, challenging, and rewarding. Management training programs focus on economic and business concepts as well as providing training in the human side of management, including psychology, teamwork, and organizational behavior.

7. Adminstrative Support. Do you like interacting with people? Administrative support is a key component of day-to-day operations in almost all business enterprises. Office assistants use their skills and training to facilitate communication, manage correspondence, and ensure the smooth functioning of business offices. A key component of a successful administrative support employee is his or her knowledge of office productivity software including email, calendar, spreadsheet, and word processing programs. Administrative support training programs focus on technical skills as well as providing real-world simulations of office environments to develop your professional skills.

8. E-Business/E-Commerce. The Internet and technology have changed the face of business dramatically. These forces have changed how companies function internally and how they interact with their customers. An entire discipline has grown up to prepare students for this new world: e-business and e-commerce. Training and degree programs that focus on these areas prepare students for the unique opportunities present in today's technology-focused business world - whether it is in communications, sales, entrepreneurship, management, Internet marketing, product delivery, or other related areas.
