how much should an mba graduate make with zero experience?
Just how much money does an MBA make? The short answer is, about $100,000 straight out of college. That goes up to $300,000 for those with talent after a decade of hard work. On the outside of the bell curve, some MBA graduates can make as little as $50,000 a year or as much as $700,000. Meanwhile, those with only a four-year business degree typically land work for $60,000 a year fresh out of school. The table below breaks down the top-line MBA pay facts.
