Answer 1

Sweetie, just because you have those degrees, doesn't mean you are stuck in that particular area.

You are in good stead - you not only have 2 degrees, you have an ADVANCED degree. So YAY!!

It depends on what you'd like to do. I'm not sure about those areas above, but one thing to try, is if you don't have any clues about those areas is to get another degree or at least take SOME classes. Another degree isn't too hard ESPECIALLY if you can go back to the school that awarded you your Bachelor's. That's good because you won't have to redo all the core courses or electives, you'd just have to concentrate on the major itself. And thereby obtain a BA in one of your choices in a short time. Or if you try another school, perhaps you can transfer a LOT of your credits as well.

The problem with your options is that they require experience. Like all jobs yes, but business and finance are sticklers for you having some experience. Of course, do not let that deter you. Some companies are willing to try newbies to the game, it just takes a lot of time and effort to do the research, apply to the companies and if you get interviews, to wow them that you really are up to par.

I would suggest the following read:

Also, you could see a career counselor who could give you more insight. Plus, it never hurts to interview someone in the field and learn from them about what your next steps should be.

Good luck!!!!!

Answer 2

this is my suggestion based on the business trend these days,

Go for the internet business, which requires less of your time and the one that will not make you feel headache with web designing, or which require IT knowledge. Second, choose the internet based company which offer you the opportunity and at the same time giving you the convenience to start the business. Third, choose the business, which does not require big money to start it.

Answer 3

I think with B.S & M.s in Engineering & your desire to work in business you can do some thing in between like working as a planning or cost engineer it is a good career path for whom dont like to be deeply involved in technicalities (design or site work) & it makes you feel that your doing some kind of business

Answer 4

All I can say is go back to school. You might have a lot of catching up to do but it should be worth it if you want to change careers. Take some finance/accounting courses at a jr. college and talk with a career advisor to make sure you'll be on track.

Answer 5

I would suggest business. Think of something you really enjoy doing. Research the market and see if that's really in demand right now. Doesn't matter if you have a business background, but it helps. Educate yourself by reading finance books, business mgt books, etc. You if belive you will achieve. All three of the careers you listed goes hand and hand.
