Money matters - 206k?!

Nevertheless, MBAs clearly still care about the size of their paychecks.

Students expect to be making a base salary of $90,232 a year after graduation, up from expectations of $89,654 the previous year. Five years after graduation, they expect to be bringing in $180,031 annually vs. $169,849 the previous year. Male graduates expect to be raking in even more, $206,000 vs. women's expectations of $190,382 five years down the line.

Students who go into private equity after b-school have the highest salary expectations -- anticipating $111,296 one year after graduation and $280,441 five years after. MBAs planning to enter public accounting have the lowest 1-year salary expectations ($57,331) while those heading for education/teaching have the lowest five-year expectations ($113,449). 

This content is dated May 27, 2008. I would be interested to see what the UCONN MBA group thinks they should be making these days after an MBA degree and in a down economy. What do you think?
