kunfuzed, you are contradicting yourself. It’s confusing me. I called you an underachiever for a few reasons. If you are so competitive, it’s natural to want to aim for top schools. I did not see this drive in you, you said you were content with a mediocre MBA program. Regarding salary, there is a strong link in salary and achievement in the corporate world. The more you achieve and prove yourself, in most cases that leads to higher raise and bonuses. That’s just the way things work, there’s also other factors of course but it’s mainly how well you perform. I’m not trying to be an ass, it’s just what I got from reading your posts. Also I don’t see how you are “fortunate” that you are not driven by a tangible reward for good work. You make it seem like you are superior because you aren’t interested in it by saying “thats sad”.

Anyways back to the topic, it seems like you aren’t even sure what area you want to specialize in, finance, marketing, management, and etc. I think you should figure that out first.
