Closely held values about the worth of certain university diplomas have been questioned by some compelling figures. Research has revealed that the median salary of ABA law university graduates a year after graduation is $45,000, with a typical debt of $150,000. So from a debt-value standpoint, law school could be out. Now studies suggest that the worth of a business university degree - a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) - may also be very doubtful.
Vanishing MBA status
Lower ranked schools and online schools started offering more and more part-time and executive MBA programs in the early 1990s, according to the Wall Street Journal. There have not been enough jobs to keep up with the number of those who have MBAs now.
At the Georgetown University McDonough School of Business, a professor dr. Brooks Holtom pointed out the issue. He said: "An M.B.A. is a club that is now not exceptional. You need to not assume that this less exclusive club is going to confer the same benefits."
Salaries dropping a ton
At PayScale.com, it discovered a 4.6 percent decrease between 2008 and 2012 in median pay for graduates with three or less years of experience. The typical pay was $53,900 in 2010 for graduates. MBA students are losing money rather than gaining it by getting MBAs. There was a 62 percent drop in pay at 186 schools on PayScale during that time.
Why the tremendous drop? It's not simply because of the weak, recessionary economy. It's because business schools are dangling false hopes before students. Those with experience don't need diplomas as much, and top-tier businesses tend to recruit from only the most exceptional schools. The glut of MBAs in the U.S. doesn't help matters, regardless of a company's exclusivity, and neither does the sluggish economy that retards the number of opportunities accessible.
Intense MBA expansion
Universities are making a ton of cash currently on business and law. There are a ridiculous amount of law students and business student's right, which is also really bad news for those students. It is a better idea to assess the career market before you choose to get debt to get another degree, and the median salary is not worth it much of the time. Unless you get into a top tier college, it is not worth it.
