MBA Schools: Whose Graduates Earn High Salaries?

Masters of Business Administration (MBA) programs promise expanded career opportunities and the potential to bring home the big bucks.

Lindsey Gerdes at BusinessWeek recently worked with us on an intriguing story about pay for MBA graduates. Using BusinessWeek's Ranking of the top 45 business schools, we looked in our data to see how each school's graduates are paid over the course of their careers.

Not surprisingly, graduates of the top ranked programs often earn the highest pay, but several lower ranked programs have graduates who can more than double their starting pay in their later careers.

In this post, we will look at a few of the interesting tidbits we discovered while researching MBA pay.
