Obtaining a degree in business can also increase your earning potential, whether
you are just entering the field or are an experienced professional seeking to expand
your career opportunities. The May 2008 State Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates
for Massachusetts, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, notes that workers
in all industries in Massachusetts at that time made an annual average wage of $50,990
($24.52 per hour); whereas, workers in management occupations made an annual average
of $114,060 ($54.84 per hour) and those in business and finance operations occupations
made an average annual wage of $73,640 ($35.41 per hour). These statistics indicate
that earning a degree in business, coupled with ambition and drive, can lead to
lucrative careers with much higher than average salaries.
