Management, broadly speaking, is about juggling people, ideas, equipment, finance, time and other resources for the purpose of obtaining desired and stated goals.
All organisations, public, private and even NGOs need, continue to need and will always need managers to run their affairs; they generally need graduates with good communication skills and the right attitude and essentially some specialised knowledge. Ability to use the computer and the internet in all its spheres is now a must, no more added advantage.
If you are a graduate and you have (or can quickly get some) specialised skills then you are likely to quickly get a job in management.
