Careers in Business

From the Set Getting Started

Business professionals are experts in management, accounting, and finance. They oversee and work at businesses of all sizes--from Fortune 500 companies to family-owned operations and startups. Careers in business are a great fit for people who like math, have strong leadership skills, are excellent communicators, and like solving problems. Business is just one of 10 exciting titles in the Getting Started series. In this book, you'll learn about dozens of career options, typical education paths, ways to pay for training (e.g., scholarships, grants), methods of exploring the field while in school (e.g., summer camps, competitions, clubs, books, websites, tours, information interviews), and much more.
