There a common misconception that an MBA degree is only relevant for business. But it can be a useful passport to a successful career in a government agency. Domestic and foreign governments employ people in a surprisingly wide variety of fields. Many MBA graduates find successful careers within government agencies by applying their finance, accounting, marketing, HR and other knowledge and skills.  A unique advantage that an MBA brings to a government job is the project management experience. As the US government seeks new ways to be more efficient, project management skills become increasingly relevant.
