A federal government is a system that divides up power between a strong national government and smaller local governments.

Government jobs available for MBAs vary widely many government agencies – from the Department of Labor to NASA to the US Postal Service to the Department of the Treasury – have job opportunities for business school graduates.

Positions include:

Contracting
General Business and Industry
Loan Specialist and
Realty

Salary Range:

Salaries for government jobs are lower than many of the private-sector jobs available to MBAs.

If making money is your #1 goal post-MBA, then a government job likely isn’t the best field for you.
