College students, in particular, are in hot pursuit of these growing opportunities. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, more than 300,000 students earn a business degree each year. That's double the number of students pursuing any other major, and the rate continues to skyrocket.
Even job seekers without degrees can take advantage of growing opportunities in this expanding field. "You don't need to have an MBA to get a good job in the business world. In fact, the business jobs with the most annual openings typically require only on-the-job training, such as customer service representatives and bookkeeping, accounting and auditing clerks," write the editors at Jist in its "Business CareerVision Book and DVD."
