Many individuals with an AS in business seek a career in management. They may become the manager of a retail store, restaurant or hotel chain. They also may become an entrepreneur to become their own manager.
Some AS in business holders will work in human resources. They scope out the talent of interested candidates for companies, aide in interviewing and hiring, train new hires and handle personnel issues and benefits.
Sales is also another popular career choice for graduates with an AS in business. They take the marketing skills they learned in their associate's program to gain customers to sell products and services. They may work in retail, for major companies or for themselves as entrepreneurs.
Accounting is best suited for people with an AS in business who are also money savvy. They handle invoices (outgoing and incoming) and ensure that taxes are paid on time. They also work with executives on how best to use the company's funds by reporting on current and projected finances.
