Management/Marketing (Business)....

I take it that you are talking about salary . I don't have a degree except from the "school of hard knocks". My wife has one in Business Management & the 80k area sounds right. The amount listed affordable home is way too high IMO but realtors always do that.
Joker what is your degree in ?

I was talking about housing....

There is no way of predicting anything based on college degree....

Btw, I knew somebody who was a high school dropout who was earning $250,000 in the 1980's....

Biggest surprise of this thread is AR182 went to college.
I doubt we will see Construction Carl or Hedgehog chime in with their major.

The majority that get their MBA have little to show for it, except for loans.

If you got an MBA and got a better job because of it, you are in the minority. (I'm excluding teachers)

This probably true!!

I had difficulty finding a decent paying job after school, but found a job in sales that I had success in....

And the marketing & sales courses that I took were very helpful in my career....

Good to hear. That's rarely the case.
Have you ever heard of the joke about Hitler wasn't a bad guy, after all he did kill Hitler?

A guy I know wrote his MBA paper on that premise. Not sure if he made out though.

really interesting

sales is the way to go though--unless you are an athlete, actor, doctor or lawyer--learn to communicate, don't take no personally and bet on yourself --income unlimited :0008
