I also think the MBA population has a skewed sense of salary requirements and that survival (including the ability to make loan payments) does not imply a 6 figure income. I also want to clarify that while entrepreneurship is one option, there are many other non-traditional career choices open to smart capable people that may not pay as much as a dead-end brand management job, but will be far more enriching when viewed with a 5 year time horizon.
