I guess all the broke MBA's from shitty schools weigh down the average for all the mega-rich CEO's, New York finance folks, etc. with MBA's.

But I'd say the ceiling for a masters in finance or an MBA from a good school with strong alumni is much higher than those others on the list.

The floor is just $0


It's just a really, really prevalent degree.

I would bet the median incomes for MBA's from mid-tier state schools are pretty high in the grand scheme of things. It's the ubiquitous University of Phoenix and University of Maryland Online degrees that drag that number down (and they are everywhere).

But yea, the HBS/GSB/Wharton/Kellogg/Booth/Sloan cohort are in the $130,000 - $150,000 range on average right out of school and probably $200,000 - $250,000 on average five to ten years down the line.
