Business has always been a popular career choice – business administration, for example, is not only the most popular undergraduate college degree in the U.S., but the most popular master's degree, too.

Additionally, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, some of the most in-demand jobs over the past few years have been in business – specifically in the areas of accounting, banking and finance. Accounting, for example, was ranked by employers as the No. 1 most-wanted degree in 2011, followed by finance at No. 2, according to NACE's annual Job Outlook survey.
