Question out of curiosity, by no means am I trying to argue, but don't many statistics disregard outliers? I don't think people at hedgefunds with starting salaries in the millions or a few 100k are included in this average.Originally Posted by wawaweewa

Not after this bottoming out.
MBA's have finally proved what they're worth.
1. If the economy is still trash in 4 years, y'all got a lot more to worry about.
2. You might have a point if I did banking or consulting or some nonsense like that, but thankfully I don't.
Most MBA's go into some type of financial services company because most have backgrounds in finance/accounting/economics. I'd be more than willing to bet that the average of $133k was made up of quite a few Hedge Fund/PE earnings that netted MBA grads well over 100k their first year out. Averages can be misleading.
MBA's are glorified B.A. in Communication degrees. Most old school execs know it too.
It kind of depends how old one is when he gets the MBA.
A 25 year old kid with an MBA (no matter where its from) is still a 25 year old kid with no real experience.
