[转帖]MBA的就业与回报问题

我最近在财富杂志上看到一篇文章，就MBA毕业生的理想行业进行了分析：

All MBA students

	2007	2006
Mgmt consulting	22%	25%
Financial services	22%	23%
Consumer goods	16%	18%
Investment banking	12%	12%
Venture capital	9%	10%

81%的MBA毕业生就职于上述的五大行业。这也就意味着只有19%的MBA毕业生对别的行业感兴趣。通过下表你可以发现，在其他行业，还有很多工作能为MBA毕业生提供良好的福利和不菲的薪水。还有一个现象很有趣，如果就毕业五年后的薪水而言，冶金业的水平是最高的。然而很多其他的行业会给员工丰厚的奖金和股权认购机会，这样看来，光是工资还无法充分说明巨大的收入差异从何而来。我之所以愿意与大家分享这篇文章，是因为我觉得MBA毕业生应该考虑一下去其他行业中开拓自己的事业。

我最近与申请者聊天时，最常见的问题就是如何在毕业以后赚回学费。财富杂志的那篇文章提供的图表我认为可以回答这一问题，让我们看看MBA学生毕业时和五年后的收入吧：

All students	89,654	88,087
Women	89,599	86,805
Men	97,519	94,710

5 years after MBA graduation
	2007 $	2006 $
All students	169,849	167,052
