A degree in business management can get you jobs in many areas.
The most popular areas in terms of pay and prestige are
1. Investment Banking (rasing capital for companies through the capital and securites market)
2. Consulting (advising companies on strategy, technology, and other issues).
They are very competitive industries to get into, specially if you want to get into top firms like McKinsey or UBS. Expect long working hours and great financial return.
Consulting requires a great deal of travel (usually) as you have to visit your clients wherever they are. This is a very varied and interesting industry to work in, but once again difficult to get into... but well worth the effort.
A third option could be Accounting, for prestigious firms like PricewaterhouseCoopers or Ernst & Young. The industry is not as prestigious but pays well.
Check out the website www.vault.com and read through the job descriptions. They are very quick reads and tell you everything you need to know about specific industries.
