标题: business week：念MBA得成本需要几年才能cover?
The High Price of Admission
This year both the costs and benefits of attending B-school surged. For our top 30 schools, tuition and fees alone were up 15% on average, and the pricetag for a Wharton MBA now approaches $90,000, up nearly $20,000 since 2004. Good thing salaries for grads increased, too. New 2006 MBAs could expect first-year paychecks of about $95,000 on average, an increase of 47% from their pre-MBA days and a huge increase over the 29% MBA pay premium that 2004 grads received. But in narrow economic terms, it may not pay to attend one of the top-ranked schools; a midtier school is a better bet. That's because the likes of Wharton and Harvard tend to attract high earners, making it harder to get a big salary bump at graduation and recoup the investment in an MBA. How hard? For Harvard grads, the breakeven point won't come until 2020, or about 20 years shy of retirement.

怎么越是好的学校要还钱的时间就越长啊

因为里面计算了机会成本，越好的学校，进去的学生机会成本越高，salary premium就相对低

To sanxiangsai:
As the article says - the likes of Wharton and Harvard
tend to attract high earners, making it harder to get a big salary bump
at graduation and recoup the investment in an MBA.

这指的不是还钱（债），而是挣回投下去的钱。

话说回来，这种计算是错的，它假设工资毕业后就恒定，忽略了（一般来说）学校越好，工资涨得越快也越高。

以下是引用sanxiangsai在2008-3-13 10:17:00的发言：

怎么越是好的学校要还钱的时间就越长啊

应为能进好学校的人，工资本来就高啊。。

特别是几家Finance的学校，一般学生进去前工资一年就有10来万了，放弃2年工资+所需的学费+生活费，自然就贵了。

it does not apply to chinese students as well because the average salary of a chinese student before b-school is significantly lower than the earnings of a student in North America.
