Taylor’s Answer

As Cyndi mentioned, how much money a business person can make can vary quite a bit depending on the position and experience. Some folks even start their own businesses rather than work for others, although most start a business after getting experience first.


I'd recommend reading, and doing some thinking before looking into pay and salary data. A few websites to start getting a sense for what people in business do might be Bloomberg, Reuters, CNN Money, Forbes, SeekingAlpha, etc.


Personally, I spent many hours reading and thinking before I understood what I wanted to do for work.

Taylor recommends the following next steps:

Make a list of interests: What excites you from what you've read? Spend a few weeks doing this.
Find out what job titles do those things: Start at a place like this website: https://www.thebalance.com/job-titles-4073125
See for yourself: Glassdoor.com comes to mind and I'm sure there are others, but find out how much people make doing things you think you might enjoy.

Cyndi’s Answer

You're asking a very general question. There are many types of business and businessmen. Generally anyone who is really good will make more money. So if you pick a business and a role you love, let's say Finance as an example, you are more likely to make good money. Studying Finance and Accounting can be a good foundation to success in business. However, businessmen can manage workers, manage projects, or perform sales. Think about a field that interests you, and then see what kind of business positions are needed. In Pharma, you'd do better having more science/biology knowledge. In Insurance or Financial industries, more Management and Finance knowledge. In Tech, you can span many segments of business positions. Businessmen can make anywhere from 30k to 500k annually, it really depends on so many variables.

Nitesh’s Answer

As all have answered it is very generic question and would vary from business to business. Also it would depend a lot on the location, brand marketing, promotion, portfolio and offerings of products. Today we are surrounded by e-commerce and it has changed the dimension of doing business and so has doing shopping. Social Media Marketing it the most booming things these days.

Karuna’s Answer

It's a very wide range depending on industry, role, and location. Some jobs will get you 50k a year, some 150k. Some have a lot of growth potential, others don't. Really depends, but I wouldn't get into a specific role just because of earning potential because many will have very long hours, high stress work, etc. as a trade-off so you'll want to understand the work-life balance you want and what you're willing to sacrifice on that end to get a certain paycheck.

Steven’s Answer

The average salary depends on the particular industry, education,  and the experience of the employee.  Luckily there are websites like glassdoor.com that help with actually salaries individuals are paid at different Organizations.  I would do some web searches on industry and job titles that interest you.  You can also speak with friends, family and other people in your network with different experience to help with salary ranges as well. Remember, the more you can prove your benefit to the prospective employer, the more you are worth.
