What is in a business degree?
A
business degree can be applied to virtually any industry and can also be used
to help you start your own business. It provides a broad exposure to all the
crucial elements that make an organization function well. Business is one area
where continuing education even for established professionals is crucial in
order to remain competitive. Being a social science, it not only prepares one
for managerial responsibilities but also enables real life applications.
The
business degree has equipped me with many skills and expanded my horizon of
thinking. This is my greatest investment for tomorrow. The return on investment
(ROI) is promising having sharpened my tools ready for the corporate world.
According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development study, the
global financial crisis has made college degrees more important than ever in
raising personal income. The study shows that the difference in earnings
between the low and highly-educated has widened from 2008 to 2011.
"Probably in these times there
is no better investment you can make than in your education. Rate of return is
in the order of 10 to 15 percent. And then think about what other investments
you can make these days where you get a similar rate of return,"
Andreas Schleicher once quoted. In most industrialized countries a degree is of
utmost importance and not just a degree but what you study!
A
business degree makes one a better manager and decision maker in day to day
activities. Studies have shown that the average person makes around 600
decisions per day. Multiply that by the number of days in a month and you’re
talking about tens of thousands of decisions over the course of a single year. No
matter which major you choose, earning a business degree will qualify you for
more than five
times the number of jobs than those available to a high school
graduate.
Earning
a business degree is a rewarding venture. Visualize of the ideal job you wish
to have, could be a C.E.O of your own firm or even C.O.O at IMF! Who knows God’s
plans for us? Talk of the seven figure salary you have heard of, it will be
yours if you utilize the degree well. Finishing the 8-4-4 system is itself a
proof of the patience to get quality education. It is enjoyable and rewarding in
the long run.
