    Surprising study from The Economist.

    Quote:
    Europe is the place to study for an MBA for those seeking the best salary, according to The Economist’s 2009 survey of business schools. Vlerick Leuven Gent in Belgium may not have the cachet of some American schools, but its new graduates typically out-earn their counterparts across the pond—by $26,000 a year compared with Wharton alumni. That is mainly because it caters to older students with more work experience and greater earning power. Starting salaries of graduates from Asian schools are much lower than for those with an MBA from Europe or America. Despite a difficult jobs market, MBA graduates bumped up their salaries by an average of 72% in comparison with their pay before entering business school.

    EDIT: data seem to be distorted by usd/euro exchange rate and the higher age of the European candidates. Apples and oranges....

    hello

    I agree. Europe is the place to study for an MBA for those seeking the best salary, according to The Economist’s 2009 survey of business schools.
