Business education not only goes well with technical expertise, but with other fields as well. If you have worked in a technical field for sometime and that’s all you have done, then maybe it’s time you thought about having some business background as well.
The best and easiest way to go about is to ask your Human Resources Representative if going to business school is part of employee benefits.
You will not only increase your salary, but you will also increase your know-how about business so that you would be poised for advancing more in your career. You will expand your horizon of dealing with your colleagues and adversaries more effectively and fruitfully.
I have seen technical folks working in cubicles for too long. Granted some of them have done almost miracles developing some high-class software and new hardware gadgets, but chances are they don’t know one thing from another so far as running a business or perhaps a department.
According to BusinessWeek, Management professionals can increase their salaries by up to $30,000 with Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree and make an average salary of $104,000 a year.

Technical guys have a misconception that they are running the show in this world. But in reality, it’s the business guy who tells the techie what the business needs are at the time. So the technical guys follow the business guys but the reverse is definitely not true.
