Enjoy planning, scheduling and delegating tasks? Are you a team player who manages time, stress and projects well? Then a career in business may be a good fit for you. Preparing for a career in business opens countless opportunities for employment and advancement. Though some entry level positions may not require more than a high school diploma along with appropriate experience, an associate degree is increasingly preferred. Employees who have completed degrees or certificate programs are more likely to earn promotions with more responsibilities.
