For Greg Salles, choosing the right field to get his Master's degree in organizational management was key.

That's why Salles, 38, married with two children, decided to pursue his Master's degree from the University of Phoenix Online. He chose the ever-important field of organizational management as his major.

"Because it is inherently more difficult to manage people and systems within an organization, the linkage between personal goals and corporate strategy has never been more important," sales Salles, who currently resides in Boston.

"It is easier to master rigid disciplines like accounting, statistics, or math, but to find this balance between people and the organization is the ultimate challenge."

Salles is an acquisition financial analyst for the United States Air Force. He previously earned his Bachelor's degree in philosophy.

As a financial analyst with the Air Force, he is responsible for ensuring that his wing's procurement funds are well programmed, planned, budgeted and executed in order to meet the wing's mission.

"My degree in organizational management allows me to be able to tie in the Air Force's strategic mission with my own personal goals," he says.

"I can make absolute sense and meaning of my role in the big scheme of things of Air Force acquisition accounting and budget planning. As long as I know my job plays an important part in the Air Force's achieving its mission, then I have achieved my own."
