I know three people with M.B.A.s who are earning near 70k



Consultants with undergraduate degrees should be making that type of money within a few years. I don’t know what your career prospects look like right now with your psychology degree, but would still recommend u work for a few years and return for an MBA.



rather I prefer working at a lower tier, such as a job in consulting and (or) marketing.



Well, it’s obviously too early to speculate about being a CEO or CFO, but these jobs you mentioned are not “lower tier”. Strategy consulting jobs from top MBA programs pay an average of 120k starting plus $20k bonus (and from a lower top 20 school these numbers wouldn’t be all that much lower). Starting salaries for marketing are lower but still 85 to 95k for top 20 schools.
