Find Success In Your Own Backyard With An MBA Degree

A Minnesota executive with an MBA degree is demonstrating firsthand that you don't always have to move far from home to rise to the top of your field.

The Daily Journal of International Falls, Minnesota recently profiled Trudy Rautio, who started her business education with classes at a local community college before receiving a bachelor's degree from Bemidji (MN) State University and her MBA degree from the University of St. Thomas.

Rautio, the daughter of a logger and small business owner, is reportedly the chief financial officer and an executive vice president for Carlson, a multibillion dollar Minnesota company involved in travel, marketing and other industries.
"I’ve always been focused on the job at hand. You just continue to prove yourself by the work you do," Rautio told the newspaper.

If you're interested in earning your MBA degree, this is an example of how the training you receive will prepare you to excel in your chosen field and pursue opportunities wherever you want, whether they're close to home or in a major financial center like Wall Street.

For those who aren't sure if their budget or schedule would allow them to pursue a degree, online MBA courses may be the answer.
