Someone’s got to do the making

LOL!! MBAs are free to “do the making.” They can do the making wherever the free market decrees, which is apparently not at cushy consultancies or PE firms. So sad.

Time to be humbled and take that wait staff job.

That doesn’t pay off loans.

Funny, you’d never say the same thing to an unemployed med school grad.

No med school grad is unemployed!! And they are training to HELP people. So yes, I fully support helping young med students financially. Particularly since some specialties like pediatrics really are difficult financially with the student loans now.

Tons are. Not everyone matches into a residency.

Don’t they have other options like working in research or working for insurance companies?

A tiny percentage are, and they are mainly from international med schools. I fully support measures to get them into service if the traditional residency doesn’t work. MBAs can suck it.

As do MBAs.

MBAs do not help people. The very very few ones that actually help people already had alternate plans for employment and loan repayment.

Of course they’ll have other options. They may have to pivot and hustle for a job at lower tier firms (bye for now PE!) but it will be humbling. They’ll have to be resilient and prove themselves in roles that they will think are beneath them. But if they can do that they will be fine - the cream always rises to the top.

Right??! It’s so rich (ha) to expect us to feel sorry that these kids training to be capitalist masters now face the downside of the free market. Like literally, zero sympathy. Particularly to the PE choads whose entire business model is to take over companies, strip the equity, and fire people. Nope, not even getting my tiny violin out for these baby vultures.

+1 hate to say it, but this is what capitalism is about. There are boom times and bust times. If you expected the party to last forever, you were ignorant.

I have been laid off twice, been through two recessions, including graduating during a recession. I told my kid to NOT go to such an expensive college such that we would have to take out huge loans. The ROI is just not there, and you never know what kind of economy you will be going into after graduation.

There had better not be another student loan forgiveness in the horizon for these graduates.

There’s PSLF for nonprofit hospital admins

I'd bet my entire 401K that you're a clueless boomer who put themselves through college with a part time job when tuition was $2,000
a year, and got handed a cushy job immediately upon graduation.

Times have changed old man.

please, most business grads don't major in it "to help people". And most hospital admins only care about profit even as the hospitals are nonprofit. Hospital admins don't actually care about the people it serves. They care about making sure the hospital is profitable.

btw, I was also a business major.

Not true. MBAs are ALL about helping oneself.

So MBAs deserve to have their degrees paid for by taxpayers? Interesting.

We don't want underemployed MBAs on the market. They will take away jobs from people who aren't qualified for other jobs or better pay. People need to stay within their earning power range.

Seems like HBS ignores the fact that the program covers two academic years--not just one--when illustrating the COA.
