Yeah, that makes sense. As much as I may like a particular field now, who’s to say I don’t end up an English major?
(That was a joke, my mother would crucify me)
@juillet, MBB consulting pays for the MBAs of their high-performing analysts (so long as they go back), but you can’t really count on getting in to MBB consulting, much less among that group (unless you’re so smart that you know you’ll be summa cum laude at Harvard or something like that).
@PurpleTitan - Yes, I’m aware, but because of the competitiveness of getting into MBB firms I didn’t really mention that as an option 
I think most MBAs should expect that they will be financing the majority of their MBA with loans, unless they come from a wealthy family with parents who want to foot the bill for them. Underrepresented minorities do have the option of applying for The Consortium scholarships (http://www.cgsm.org/) but those are competitive as well!
The unlikeliness of getting a position at a consulting firm like MBB straight out of undergrad is even more reason to minimize debt in undergrad!
