Are you a detail person? Do you like to organize things? Do you like to work with numbers? Are you a self-starter? Are you a persuasive speaker? Would you like to see that people get the products and services they want? Would you like to be your own boss? These characteristics are often important in business careers.

People in business careers keep companies operating efficiently. Depending on the job, their daily tasks may include managing a staff, purchasing parts to manufacture a car, accounting for the company's taxes, hiring a new employee, preparing payroll, selling a house, marketing a website, advertising a department store's sale or providing customer services.
