However, finding all the information you need in order to move forward, let alone all in one place, can be a daunting task.

2. Business Analyst: If you have a knack for strategic, out-of-the-box thinking and prefer to work behind the scenes, then a business analyst role may be for you. Spend your days assessing business models and coming up with creative ways for companies to improve their operations.

5. Director of Operations: Help assess a business—be it a startup or mature establishment—maintain their financial and operational health by delving into the world of operations. It may not sound super glamorous, but this job is the keystone of any profitable business.
6.

Think up a creative (and practical) product or idea and hit the ground running by starting your own business.
This is just a small sample of jobs available to you if you decide to pursue an MBA. The truth is that the skills you gain during an MBA program are truly transferable to any industry or department.
