Very few, if any, companies pay you more simply because you have a MBA.

Most companies however will readily pay more for a person who's ambitious, driven and a proven track record of performance and/or learning. And when you're young with few years of experience - a MBA (when paired with a reasonable job history, solid education and good communication skills) is extremely convincing proof of a potential strong performer. At the very least, the candidate with an MBA shows that he has the drive to outshine his peers.

And for non-finance/business professionals, a mid-career MBA is widely accepted proof of the motivation and enthusiasm of an engineer or scientist etc for management ambitions & responsibilities.

boy,Jan 5 2009, 10:15 PM]You pay 100k+ extra for MBA to only advance 1-2 years earlier than a degree holder, is it worth? Within that 2 years, the degree holder might already gained more valuable working experiences. I'm not saying that MBA is not worth, but not right after you graduate coz it won't do much good unless you're freaking rich and you don't mind.
Best MBA for a person in the part of their early career is a part time one. You don't sacrifice your work experience and you still get a MBA after 3 or 4 years. If you're able to get steady promotions in a full time job and excel at your part time MBA as well... any employer will snap you up as you've proven that you can far outperform your peers by doing both when many of them can't cope with just one.

form 5 also can earn 20-30k a month!  thumbup.gif
It's not about whether you can or not (ie. possible or not). It's a matter of how likely or how common.

Even a paralysed man who cannot speak nor do anything for himself can earn millions of dollars. But in the whole world, there's probably only one of this type of supremely extraordinary person.

Why stop at Form 5? Form 1 also can earn 20-30K a month lah. Never study and don't know how to read and write also can lah. Jeez.

I think many, if not most, Harvard MBA holders were already earning more than 10K a month before they started their MBAs.

Usually if one joins with MBA they usually join as a Consultant rather than Business Analyst level. Starting pay for Business Analyst on average is +- RM10k.
These firms pay those kind of starting salaries to a certain 'kind of person'.

That kind of person have MBAs because they are that kind of person.

The reverse logic is not necessarily true. Having a MBA doesn't necessarily make one that kind of person.
