<p>well, what do you want to do? If you don't want to work on wall street then the 50k expense may not be worth it.</p>
<p>It just seems like EVERYONE who goes to a good school and majors or is interested in business wants to be an investment banker, especially on these forums.</p>
<p>yeah really, you didn't give out much information, you are at a good school and want to go to an ivy.. what are we supposed to think? Oh wait, second on my list was that you wanted to be a small business owner!</p>

<p>Yeah, I've noticed that too (as mentioned in my post above). But in the absence of answers from you about that, it's probably the best assumption to make. Why, for instance, would you consider Stern otherwise? I mean, it's a great school, but on the undergrad level it seems its primary purpose for its attendees is to feed students into Wall Street firms.</p>
<p>The only other reason it might make sense to go to an undergrad b-school that I can think of is to go work in strat consulting at a place like McKinsey. You're probably a lot less likely to get that opportunity at other than Wharton, Haas, Ross, maybe Stern, and a few others. Check and see.....</p>
<p>Whether or not you go to b-school, put time into studying quant-focused subjects. In the current job market, that will always benefit you, even if you go into the "touchy-feely" parts of business.</p>
