Forbes <\/em>took its survey findings from \u201cThe Best Business Schools<\/a>\u201d and compiled a second rankings report: \u201cThe Most Satisfied MBAs<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stanford won top slot for both rankings. It is #1 for providing the best return on investment for its graduates, as well as for churning out MBAs who are extremely satisfied with their current jobs and their completed b-school experience.<\/p>\n

The survey shows that Stanford alumni are more likely than grads from any other business school to sing praises to their alma mater. School satisfaction and job satisfaction are closely intertwined with financial success, says Pulin Sanghvi, Stanford GSB Director of Career Management and Stanford GSB \u201997 alum. \u201cTrue satisfaction happens from work-life actualization,\u201d he says, referring to the Dalai Lama\u2019s The Art of Happiness at Work<\/em>. \u201cWe nurture students to pursue career decisions based on their internal drivers. That they then become financial successes is just a bonus.\u201d<\/p>\n
