6万美元月薪，读eMBA?

笑意如墨

对的，不是每个人都会锱铢必较的算计，把MBA当投资。的确有很多人是为了追逐梦想，骨子里是理想主义者。我认为这值得尊敬。

值不值，看自己的感受吧。

With an age of 30 plus, one may consider what career, and what kind of life he/she wants most -does an MBA provide such chances for a new career,new life? It's probably the last chance in his/her life to continue with an MBA,  (EMBA is another story though), losses and gains are always tied together.

On the other hand, you need to trust Wharton, and at least the Adcom have throught you can realize your career goals through the 2 years there, and I don't think your salary will be less than what you have now postMBA, (unless you choose non-profit, otherwise it may affect the salary survey results of the school) and most important of all, it's a great chance to think and possibly grasp many new opportunities which other programs (masters, PHDs) normally don't offer.

One friend told me he wanted to apply for schools such as Wharton and Kellogg -----just not to leave any pity in the whole MBA application process...no matter what result it may be.

I think one of the reason why Wharton accepted this person is based on his Biology PHD background. The MBA + Biology PHD is one of the hottest piece in the job market. He may not know this since many chinese don't know the broader sense of US job market. From the article, he is thinking of going to pure finance. I hope he got some advice from "tall people" and had a better understanding on the situation.

Had he known why Wharton accepted him, he will go there in no time.

看来是否读MBA银子起决定作用！

people's goals are different. people I know making $60+ in mainland China are applying for b-schools. not for everyone money matters, at least that much.

hi, i can understand your concern. i am currently reading in a top business school in europe - though not as famous as hvb/wharton， it's still one of the best in the world. my pay was quite good in china and it's almost similar to your current pay in us. i always thought of whether to go abroad to study since my pay is already very competitive in china. however, i realized that i do have learnt a lot though i just started my study for 3 months. i do not think i can learn so much in china from any school or work experience.

i have 9 years experience in finance, accounting, audit, consulting and it in different top multinational companies. i also have one international qualification, which make me think that i won't improve from the school. just 1 month after my study, i realized that i won't do any job that i have done before after graduation. my selection becomes much wider beyong what i can imagine before. similar to you, since i do not have ibank experience, it's not easy to join ibank. but i do believe there should be many opportunities in ibank, pe, consulting and industries. as to you, probably one of your best choice is to do quantitative modeling work in ibanks due to your phd and programming expertise. frankly speaking, judging from your background, i do not see why ibanks recruit you for their ibd division, why mckinsey recruit you for very 'creative' and 'strategic' work or why industry firms recruit you for management position - sorry i am too direct here.

A guy came from China in 2001 w/ about 10 years international trade working experience for a State-owned firm. He attended a b-school, which was out of 100 ranking, in Michigan for three years, then he got a job w $70K/Y in L.A in 2004. In 2005, he got another offer from Staples w/ $100K/Y salary + ... and relocated to China office. He is near 40 now I believe. What do you guys think about this?

看了开头就不赞成你了，不读为好，因为有活生生的例子，毕业半年多没工作！

6万不多，普通生活没问题啊！
