i went to college for biz and with a degree (back about 10 years ago) i made 40k starting out. being in this biz, i have made far more. most of what is taught in college is not always what happens in the work force. they dont teach you how to handle the long hours, how to put together a comprehensive analysis of a company, how to handle the various personalities in an important meeting. what they do teach you are the basics at best and yes i went to a very accredited college and still i have gained more on this end then i did in college cause college doesnt teach you life experiences!

my bachelor degree included a ton of group work and courses on organizational behaviour where you learn how to deal with people.
school really starts beyond a bachelor's degree. an MBA program would give you all the tools necessary to do a valuation of a company if you took the right finance courses. You also have a ton of group work and the course load is much greater. the greatest value of an MBA is the contacts you make, plus you usually start at 150-200% of the salary of someone with a bachelor's because your level of knowledge is much greater.
