Business Strategies, marketing planning and consulting

Rignoa asked:


I just sat through a college graduation and it seemed like most of the people were graduating with some form of a business or finance degree. Do these degrees pay the best and are the jobs easy to get?

Monster, Career Builder and the like seem only good for junior or mid level positions. My specialty is actually pricing strategy, but a broader search area I use is market strategy, or market analytics. Looking for an effective site (Ladders, or ExecU Net type) that focuses on Senior Director or VP level positions.

I’m going to a community college right now but will transfer to a 4 yr college soon. I want to land a great job when I get out. I want to make 6 to 5 figures in a year and I know being in business will do it. But I want to have the right business degree so I can land that kind of job. I want to be able to know what kind of degree will do that. Business Finance or Business Management? Please help I would like to know before I transfer to a 4 yr college. Thanks and please serious answers.
To TC, I know 5 comes before 6, I just set high goals for myself but thanks for the answer.

I decided to buy a business rather than pursue an MBA after 10+ years in sales & marketing positions, including mid-level positions with fortune 500 corporation. The business has been OK, but is not providing the income and satisfaction I had hoped. I would like the lessons learned to assist moving back into a more structured job, and don’t want to be branded with the negatives sometimes attributed to entrepreneurs.

JF asked:


I’ve got a problem. I’ll have an associates degree to design electrical distribution systems which is what I also do at work currently. I’m burnt out and bored with it. I’m almost 20 and I’ve figured out I want to look into getting a business degree in finance and get into banking and/or the stock market. What path should you take for something like this. I’ll have to work for at least another year to pay off my current school loans but in the mean time should I take night classes to get started on my bachelors degree in business? Also, are the starting salaries/ opportunities good for this type of career?
