Student Gives Advice on Seeking a Path to Success

By Charles Greco | Observer Contributor

You don’t have to be a Business major to have a desire to become an entrepreneur. Every major and degree program can help create opportunities to open your own business in the future, as well as developing an employment career path.

We are nearing graduation day, and some students will be moving on to four-year schools and perhaps beyond while others will begin thinking about leveraging their education sooner rather than later, finding decent starting jobs with potential for growth.

What’s really important is that long-term career decisions don’t have to be made on graduation day. read more

A business career is one of the best ways to make cents but unfortunately business doesn’t always make sense. That’s why the Mount Observer has created “The Bottom Line”. Every month I will write an article pertaining to the latest news in business. Each one of my columns will be geared directly toward you, the reader, tying in the important issues of today with how they affect you.

In February CNN reported the top ten most lucrative careers in 2006. Four out of the top ten were careers in business. Accounting was highest on the list coming in fifth followed shortly by economics and finance re­lated professions. These two fields were also the fastest growing, not in popularity but in the dollar amount of initial salary. Accounting jobs have increased in salary 6.2 percent to $45,723 and Economics and Finance grew at a higher rate of 11 percent to $45,191. The remain­ing two business careers in the top ten were Business Administration and Marketing which were 8th and 9th earning $39,850 and $36,260 respectively. read more
