HBS/Wharton/Stanford etc. Good enough or no?

1) Each to his own, but… I’d rather be dead than single past say, 27… that’s just too old to be alone for me and my family line… I’m extremely traditional and my moral compass clashes greatly against this 21st century millennial hipster “independent” excuse for living…

2) I feel MBA is pretty much worthless unless I’m going to a top tier school… those are the ones that shell out $300k/year salaries and up after the program… I can easily get up to the $100k range in a couple years after graduating from undergrad with my major, so why would I want to accrue ~$150k in accounts payable and continue wasting the best/healthiest/non-married years of my life for a middling MBA school when it’s not really going to lift me farther in salary that what I can make without going back to school?

3) I’m not necessarily “focused” on Texas. I’m an opportunist. There are other good business states out there with good wages and relatively low cost of living, such as Nebraska, North Dakota, etc. Of course, if a business with HQ in California offers me a job starting at $200k a year I’m not going to turn it down…
