Someone wanted me to ask this: Haas

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley
1

<p>Haas Graduate will always:</p>

<p>1-get a job after graduation check</p>

<p>2-make $100k or more after a few years in the job market</p>

<p>3-get an MBA</p>

<p>4-continue to make even more cash with bonuses</p>

<p>5-retire at 37 a billionaire</p>

<p>Now this is with just the undergraduate degree, and they were quite serious in their statements and beliefs.</p>

<p>I want to let you guys rain on their party, but then again i might be wrong thinking that any of these points aren't true</p>

2

<p>jobs in the financial sector have gone down the pooper. so have bonuses i believe</p>

3

<p>‘someone’ seems like you, judging from your previous posts. then again it could just be someone else looking for motivation to enforce his or her decision to aim for haas.
obviously CCers will “rain on their party” because these are simply not true. A haas graduate won’t ALWAYS do anything - it’s impossible to say all graduates, for example, retire at 37 a billionaire. does said someone really believe there are that many billionaires? all haas graduates, really? </p>

<p>yes bonuses exist. yes haas graduates usually get jobs. no they aren’t bad.
whoever wanted to know the answer to this series of statements (?) can take comfort in knowing this. there’s still great motivation, but not as much as he or she believed, although i highly doubt anyone could believe those ******** facts. if they really were “quite serious in their statements and beliefs” then im glad haas is as tough as to get into as it is. berkeley itself should have higher standards as well if this is the case.</p>

4

<p>some will some won’t. words like always and never are much too heavy to describe some population.</p>

5

<p>well this is coming from another Haas hopeful who is very practical in terms of their career and college education and expects a lot from a program and what it can offer. the person who stated these claims is not selfish or ignorant in any respect but they do have lofty ambitions in mind. i’ve seen other haas applicants apply and got in and have done worse to get there then what this person has done, more of a believer in hard work instead of taking the easy way out stuff</p>

6

<p>Feel free to check the Berkeley Career Center, but as far as I know the average salary for HAAS graduates is only about 55,000$, which is the average for pretty much every major at Berkeley.</p>

<p>And obviously the other facts are simply utter nonsense. Business depends too much on the person themselves; people with inspiration, motivation, and creativity to flourish in the business world will do splendidly. But the reality is that the vast majority end up as drones in the business world, making average paychecks and living pretty bland lives.</p>

7

<p>55k is NOT average for “pretty much every major at Berkeley.”</p>

8

<p>The Haas average salary at 55k isn’t that high relatively compared to some majors like engineering.</p>

9

<p>

</p>

<p>Exactly. Not even close.</p>

<p>In 2006, Haas students earned an average starting salary of $60k, which is higher than any other major except for EECS, CS, and math. {But math had a conspicuously lower median, indicating high skew.} </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>But is shockingly high compared to certain other majors like, oh I don’t know, MCB, which just so happens to be the largest major on campus. </p>

<p>Haas isn’t everything. I have many friends in Haas who are struggling to find employment, which really sucks considering it is soon going to be their last year at college. And if you are only a Haas hopeful, the chance of getting a decent paid internship is essentially 0, unless you are well connected.</p>

11

<p>Undergraduate students in Haas makes more money on average out of college because business majors are usually recruited from undergraduate before they obtain their MBA. People in other majors usually go back to graduate school before they begin their careers. For example, MCB people are most often pre-med and go to medical school.</p>
