14 best paying jobs for college business majors: 2014

“The business of America is business,” President Calvin Coolidge is claimed to have said back in the 1920s.

That quote isn’t really accurate, but business schools around the country still turn out thousands of grads every year.

Majoring in business might be popular (358,000 bachelor’s degress were issued in 2009-10), but which jobs pay the best for those who majored in business is an interesting question.

We turned to PayScale.com to check out their list of the Best Paying Jobs for Business Majors. We included the salary (including overtime and bonuses) for someone with a typical amount of experience in each job. PayScale also rated each job by the percentage of those surveyed who found high meaning in their work (those jobs without enough data in this category are marked N/A). PayScale states on their site that “all data is limited to those with a bachelor’s degree and no higher degrees who work full time in the United States.”

Armed with business degrees, graduates fill a wide variety of jobs. So check out 14 Best Paying Jobs for College Business Majors for 2014.
