So there are a number of great career paths to choose from, however most people who study business management are ambitious and want better than a great career, you all want to be the boss, be in charge. unfortuantely there is no degree to satisfy getting into a position you are looking for and entreprenurship is generally a gamble straight out of college. The only sure-fire way is decades of actual working experience to leverage into a senior or executive director role.

On to bucket number 3, business management.

Always bear in mind one thing in business management - and that is delegation, assign the best qualified people to each position and trust your staff to do the work instead of trying to do everything yourself. Specifically in the areas of accounting, business entities, corporate governance, corporate law, economics and Finance. Make sure the following 5 functionals of management are maintained, namely: Planning, organising commanding, coordinating and controlling.

So as we said earlier, the best way in to business management is through experience - landing a job, if you want to see a day in the life of a business project mananager, see link in the description: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oECptCOswM&list=PLeHcdziLf-kfhQo5hfwiNTdPx6zr0onZT&index=1
