Instructions

    • 1
      Brainstorm all possibilities and desires - use a web graph to outline your possible paths.

      Determine what field you would like further instruction and experience in -- this should be different than the area of study on your current business degree.

    • 2
      Meet with your supervisors and bosses to discuss the career paths they can help you follow.

      Confer with your current employer, or with future employers, about opportunities that can be made available by further studies. This will help narrow down your choices.

    • 3
      Do a thorough search for all local and online programs.

      Search online for schools, companies and organizations that offer both academic programs (usually associate degree programs) and certificates in business-related fields. These can be local universities, certificate companies and even training seminars.

      The right choice should make financial and economic sense, as well as satisfy your desires.

      Choose a program that fits your needs -- something that offers record of your successful completion, such as a degree or certificate.

    • 5
      Study hard and remember that many other business professionals will be studying alongside you.

      Enroll in and complete the program. Many employers will pay for the program in part, if not in entirety, under contract that you will continue work or accept a new position with your new knowledge.

      Make sure to showcase your new accomplishment in your resume.
