I found this web site by accident. I am horribly depressed by your self-centered, narcissistic, self-indulgent focus on being "horrified" at starting salaries of $100,000.
This country was lead into a ditch by self-centered egoists like you. I am a 50 something woman with IVY credentials, another top school for an MBA, study abroad, and a law degree. Do you know how long it took me to earn $100K bc of prigs and discrimanatory folks and "men" who ran the international companies you so desperately want to join?
Grow up! You are not worth $100K per year, or half that. No wonder this society is so out of kilter.
DO you even know what is going on with people being unable to feed their families? The whole lot of you should start out as shipping clerks and work your way up.
Beyond that? The "top" B schools and their counterparts should be forced to start again and re think what they are about and what they are teaching.
Because if you folks are any indication, it is truly sick. This country is going down because of the types of people who have "lead" Wall Street, and KPMG and Booze Allen an

You are awkwardly bitter and uneducated on the subject. There are a number of people entering business school who already make $100k/year, so the starting salaries are extremely relevant for evaluating the ROI of an MBA that happens to cost $150k+ (not including foregone salary). Beyond that, some of us actually did begin our careers are "shipping clerks" and worked our way up from there. I'm sorry that you spent your entire career at a salary level that you felt was insufficient for your skills because of "prigs and discrimanatory folks and 'men'," but you're in no position to bash other human beings that you know nothing about.
Are there people unable to feed their families? Yes, but what does that have to do with anyone on this forum or in the larger business school community? If anything, MBA students are learning to create wealth, grow pre-existing companies, and start new small businesses... all which create jobs... you know, to feed those hungry families.
This is actually a strong community of good and helpful people. If you want to debate the state of government, the economy, and corruption, I'm certain that you'll find someone to have an intelligent discussion with, but don't introduce yourself by blindly attacking everyone from your ironic high horse.

+1 for that. i started off working in **** jobs. i came from an immigrant family that came to the US and Canada so i can make 6 or 7 figures a yr and i don't apologize for it. my parents worked damn hard to put me through school and help me get to where i am today and i worked damn hard myself to get here too. of course i want to get paid big bucks if i'm going to spend 100k+ for an MBA - this is the whole reason why my family came to North America! we didn't come here for vacation or to relax...we came for a better life and better future that we weren't going to get in our home country - we came for the American dream.
what really makes me laugh is the number of people in this country that like to kick back and debate on/blame the system. if you're not satisfied, do something about it...if you can't change the system, change yourself and adapt and excel in the system. i know employers are prejudiced when they see my resume with my asian name...so i might get less interviews. so what? i just have to make sure the rest of my resume is even stronger. and i just worked harder to do better in my interviews and impress employers more. what is the point of you complaining that you're a woman and the male dominant business world is against you? first, in the global business world, north america is probably the most accepting towards women. second, you can't change the system...just live with it and do the best you can to excel...sure you're at a disadvantage sometimes, so are lots of others...you just gottad do the best with what you've got instead of complaining about the system.
