<p>If we're only talking salary here, which would be more lucrative: going into a career in business or going into medicine? I know the salaries vary my question is vague. But just look at it as which career has the potential to offer the most money. </p>

<p>Also, does anyone know what percentage of MBAs from, say, top 10 business schools get hired shortly after graduation? And what their salaries are like.</p>

<p>Medicine. But not primary care.</p>

3

<p>Business.</p>

<p>top 1% of HS class
Ivy league
3 or 4 internships with F500, BB, etc.
graduate with honors
job in BB IBD or MBB
transit to HF or PE
???
greatness</p>

<p>The doctor route is more like this
Take bio
consider dropping out
end up as a $15 an hour lab assistant</p>

<p>As far as the percentage right after an MBA, usually 90% or more.
Remember though, an MBA comes TWO YEARS after you’ve been at a Bulge Bracket bank or at an elite consulting firm. If you can’t get into one of those, then it comes after about 5 years at an F500, elite boutique etc.</p>
