Seeking a Business Degree at Triton College offers you many
choices such as continuing your studies at one of the many colleges and
universities in the Chicago area or entering the workforce with a general
understanding of business. Men and women with a business degree are highly
sought after by many companies for their knowledge of how businesses operate.
Unlike other degrees that are available, which focus on one aspect of a
business’s operation, those who have degrees in business have the flexibility
to make an impact in a number of different fields. Obtaining a business
degree can help get you on the fast track to a management position within an
organization. When a company is looking to fill a management position, they
are looking for someone who can not only focus of the specific tasks of their
work group, but who can also take a “big picture” look at the company as a
whole and see how the tasks that their work group completes contributes to
the overall success of the company. Particularly important to the role of
today’s business managers is working in a collaborative and collegial
environment. At Triton College we emphasize a team approach in our business
courses that can help you succeed in the real business world.
In a
highly competitive and global marketplace students must understand the role
of business and how today’s managers help solve problems for their companies
that leads to a long-term sustainable advantage for businesses both large and
small. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that
employment of general and operations managers is expected to remain steady in
coming years. The number of job openings in any given field will depend on
the overall growth within that industry. The prestige and high pay of
business manager jobs often results in strong competition. Those with
associate, bachelor and master degree will enjoy the best opportunities.
According to BLS data from May 2009, the average potential annual income for
general and operations manager with experience and advanced degrees was
$110,550. The middle 50% earned between $63,750 and $138,960. Salaries for
the lowest 10% were around $45,780.
