Question about finance career field.?

I am fresh out of college with a public justice degree. I obtained a job for a large corporate bank working customer service for now and I really enjoy working with the investments. My company would pay for me to get an MBA and I would really like to because I do not have the business background I would like to go as far as I can with this company. I know I am entry level now but it is a foot in the door and I was just wondering any ideas what I should study for an MBA and also any career path advice. Thank you.

If you’ve found something you really enjoy, go for it! If your company will pay for your education–do it! Companies and jobs come and go but no one can ever take education away from you–it will always be a personal asset making you employable in your field. I’ve seen many high-level managers find themselves unable to get comparable jobs after being downsized because they accepted promotions rather than acquiring higher-level skills and knowledge–while their lower level ex-employees got better jobs because they continued educate themselves.

Talk with some of the people in your company who do the work you think you’d like to do and who have an appropriate background. Ask the happy ones for advice.

Good luck!
