<p>It all depends on where you are an investment banker with and how well you do, as alot of it comes in the form of bonuses as rewards for good work. It is hard to say how much the average MBA makes as it depends on the school you got the degree from. As for which jobs make over 100k, you mean longterm? 5 years? something else?</p>
<p>Salary is important... for your family, towards your debts, and being able to sustain a living. These figures help with decisions towards graduate school, a MBA program, or pursuing another degree (and being financially able to). These numbers tell someone if it's worth it or not to invest their entire life towards a certain career, to sacrifice 90% of their waking moment in pursuit of success. If you worked 120 hours a week, you'd care about how much compensation you are getting. </p>
<p>The dirty business majors you talk about run the economy, lead major M&A decisions through advisory, manage the workforce, and market the products you use; they determine whether a company that employs thousands expands internationally or stays domestic. They create jobs, are actively involved in philantrophy, and deserve any insane amount of money they make.</p>
<p>With rising rent rates and a faltering economy, you'd think that most people would be concerned about salaries and similar money figures... especially, if they are under $30,000 and you can't pay the heat bill.</p>
<p>College tuition is rising ($48K anyone next year?), and work is being outsourced globally.</p>
<p>The undersecretary of treasury, the Fed, and Ibankers care about money. I bet your parents care too.</p>
<p>hey people...I have a question....see in the US the univs are like getting such huge amount of funds and yet they keep on increasing the fee every year..although in the end they end up giving financial aid to many students...so why dont they like just make the fee subsidised and reasonable...I mean in India the IIT's tak a very subsidised fee and they are not even that well funded...but i am sure the private US univs can do the same because they are funded a lot...
I really dont know much abt this so thought maybe i'd ask you guys abt any reasons why they make the fee so high..</p>
