Cost-benefit of MiF

Hi all,

So I just returned from the GMAT, very happy with my score and ready to apply for a MSc in finance, mainly going for LSE or HEC. A topic that I feel is not discussed that much around here, is the (from a Belgian point of view) astronomically large entrollment fees for these programmes. So I was wondering, as for from everyone graduating from such a programme costing over 40k €/£ gets their dreamjob in IB that ensures a nice ROI, how well off are those who don't get a "top" job in the City? Do a lot of graduates have a hard time paying off their debt because they ended up e.g. in Big 4 CorpFin department (which as far as I am aware does not at all require such a "high-end" post-grad), or do they typically land jobs that are still worth the investment?

Much appreciated!
