If you are like thousands of other students out there, you are considering getting your MBA or Masters in Business Administration. While we all have our own unique motivations for getting the degree of our choice, the amount of money we’ll be making with our degrees is usually of paramount importance. However, not everyone who earns an MBA can be expected to earn the maximum amount of money available for a number of reasons, such as the amount of prestige attached to a particular school’s MBA program, the type of connections you have once you graduate and the type of business you pursue once you have your degree. Let’s take a look at how all three of these variables influence what you can make with your MBA degree.

According to recent statistics, it really is worth staying in school to get your MBA. Starting salary numbers jump significantly when you have your MBA from approximately $56,000 a year to $76,000 a year. When you extrapolate that five years into the future, the earning gap is even larger, with most MBA students earning well over $100,000. There are a number of things that can influence that earning potential, however.

Almost every major university in North America has an MBA program, but not all MBAs are created equally. Just as there are some schools that specialize in microbiology and others that churn out exceptional surgeons, some schools are better known for having solid MBA programs. You can significantly increase your earning potential by graduating from a school like Harvard that has an established MBA program that is highly respected as opposed to graduating from a school that has just started an MBA program.

As many of you know, the real world is less about what you know and more about who you know. Our professors try to hammer into our heads how important it is to network while we’re in school and when you look at the influence networking has on MBA earning potential, you’ll see why. Many times, things like our resumes, where we graduated in our class and the grades we received on our final exams mean very little if you know someone who can start your career off on the right foot. Perhaps more than any other single factor, who you know can determine how much you will make right out of school with your MBA.

Finally, not all types of companies give the same kind of rewards. Just like social work tends to be the lowest earning degree one can get, if you affiliate yourself with a law firm or another business that rakes in the cash, you will likely find significantly higher earning numbers over the life of your degree. The question that many of us have to ask at one time or another is how happy you’ll be working at the job your MBA earns you. Will the extra cash bring you genuine happiness or will working at a job that helps to make the world a better place be a more significant reward?

Earning potential with your MBA is a major concern that almost every student has, however, putting a price on happiness is something that no one can do.

Once upon a time…an education guaranteed stability. College was for those high-achieving folks who would later go on to get paid decent to high salaries, own a home, live comfortably. So much for once upon a time. Today, college grads are waiters/waitresses and doctors are puppets to the greedy insurance companies.

Lawyers are taking on employment, like everyone else, where the cost of living has tripled and the pay has remained the same. It has seriously made “the american dream” a faint memory and most people work incredibly hard without being able to make ends meet. Resentful? You bet!

According to Dan Griffin, a prosecutor for the Cook County State Attorney’s Office in Chicago who has taken on a second job at night doing construction, it’s the only way to pay off his $70,000 law school loan, save for a house and have a chance at some future stability.

“I never thought I’d be working this hard as a lawyer,” said Griffin. “I love my job, but the guys I work with on construction, who are union, make more than I do as a lawyer. It’s pretty ridiculous.”

Griffin is part of a growing group of prosecutors and assistant public defenders who are moonlighting to make ends meet.

“More and more people are asking for permission to teach,” said Howard Finkelstein, public defender for Broward County, Fla. “I always give them permission. I want to keep people because turnover is such a huge problem so I have to let them make enough money to feed their families.”

In short, a formal education has become more of a burden than an asset. However, it is one thing that can never be taken away from you. Still, paying it off and trying to survive financially makes you wonder…is it all worth it?
