Jobs for school administrators are expected to expand this decade. The exact job duties and pay will depend on what area a student decidest to pursue – become a principal, or become a postsecondary school administrator who specializes in areas like admissions or student affairs.
Typically a bachelor’s degree in business administration is only a starting point for management positions and a growing number of employers look for MBAs or graduate degrees. Employers also frequently value experience in the field along with the education, all of which can lead to six-figure jobs if a person is willing to handle the responsibility and sometimes stress that come with a high-profile management job.
