Higher salaries from Undergrad or Postgrad

Here you guys can see some of the compensation averages for the top B-Schools. But I believe that its the undergrads who secure the best packages. An MBA hardly adds any new 0s to the salary you were earning prior to your joining the B-School. And its, of course, the ones already established in the finance industry prior to an MBA who earn the most. So a postgrad is almost useless if seen from that perspective. It cannot add much value if you haven't advanced in your career much, before your MBA.
