If wine isn't your thing, governmental and non-governmental organizations might be. The University of Geneva, HEC School of Management, for instance, offers the International Organizations MBA - an MBA for those who wish to 'pursue a career in the increasingly inter-connected fields of international governmental and non-governmental organizations,
and companies that work with these institutions'. Socially-oriented students who wish to find their own philanthropic or environmental organization would be great candidates for a program like this.

Ambitious future MBAs with a passion for marketing and its related industries may be interested in the Luxury Brand Management MBA at ESSEC. This course focuses on the fast-paced and finicky nature of this rapidly changing industry, as well as developing the management skills to survive within this active and often imperious sector.

Alain Lempereur says, "Our Luxury Brand Management MBA is only young. But if someone wants to work for LVMH, Gucci, or L'Oreal, ESSEC is the place to be. Marketing luxury goods requires very specialist skills and there is no doubt the French are the best in the world in this pursuit." What's also unique about the Luxury Brand Management MBA is that students learn from many experienced leaders within the luxury field, therefore, delivering a very tailored approach unmatched by a general MBA program or even a marketing-focused MBA.

Human Resources (HR) is another field that is gaining popularity amongst MBAs. Not only does working in HR demand the excellent management skills attained in business school, but it also requires highly developed soft skills. If you're a 'people person', this sector may interest you.

Miri Shelkovits, a current HR Coordinator at Professional Services Europe, always knew she'd earn her MBA yet not go into a typical MBA field. "I knew I appreciated the 'people skills' in me, so I wanted to join an HR team and get really involved in how the human resource aspect of a business works," she says. "MBA training presented me with a general understanding of business needs, the way the market works, generic management skills including presentation skills, and knowledge of reporting procedures necessary to prosper in the HR world."
