“The field of finance is hot right now and the job outlook is expected to stay strong,” says Business-Programs.com. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, accounting jobs are expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations, and various accounting jobs will grow between 8 and 16 percent by 2014. The median pay for an accountant is currently $41,100.

A marketing bachelor’s degree or MBA can lead to a lucrative career. According to CNN Money, median pay for a marketing specialist is $52,400; for a marketing analyst, $56,900; and for a marketing manager, $89,200. These positions usually require a bachelor’s degree, and an MBA in marketing could mean earnings much higher than the median.

Managing a nonprofit organization (median salary $55,100) or becoming a community organizer (median salary $30,900) can be tremendously fulfilling and often allows for flexible hours to accommodate the needs of family members. An online bachelor’s degree or MBA in management can increase opportunities and salary in these fields.
