I can not decide on what degree to go after. When I am looking for a degree to obtain I am looking for what jobs that degree will open up for me. Here are some facts; I will be obtaining my BSBA (bachelors of Science in Business Administration) with a minor in human recourses from DeVry University in two weeks. I want to immediately go and attain a graduate degree because I know that I will not be motivated to go back to school later on in my life and a DeVry degree is worthless. The school that I want to attend is CSU (California State University) Sacramento because I don’t want to spend 5 times more money on a private school. Here is a link of all the graduate degrees that they offer.

My strengths are that I am a:
•Outstanding leader
•Strong problem solver
•Effective public speaker
•Good mathematical skills
•Excellent understanding of concepts
•Superb reasoning skills
My weaknesses are that I:
•Have problems writing constantly
•Do not have the most extensive vocabulary
•Hate remembering useless information that will not benefit me
•Do not like to be doing the same thing over and over again
•Like to use my brain
What I think are good carrier characteristics are:
•A salary of around 75k to 100k
•To rarely work more than 40 hours a week
•A job that should be around for 40 years
•The job to be is somewhat of demand
•That maybe requires a license
What I think are bad carrier characteristics are:
•A job that will not get affected much by outsourcing or of shoring
•The ability to get the job without a degree in that field
•The lack of critical thinking involved that the employee is more like a tool than a person
•An inconsistent salary (like contractors)
I know that I am not going to find a perfect job that fits me to the T but I would like to at least like to get one that comes close. I have thought about getting a MBA (Masters of Business Administration) but I am not sure I want to do it because I am kind of scared of the business world, the MBA is not necessary to become a manager, and it is kind of getting devalued. Please correct me if I am wrong. So what degree do you think I should apply for?
