Do people really go to school for non finance or consulting anymore?!

Obviously this will vary from different tiers of schools, be they HSW, Top 10, or Top 20/30... but what percentage is actually going for 'normal' corporate finance, marketing, etc as opposed to investment finance or consulting? With or without corporate sponsorship/part time programs, mind you

 

WSO is cool but it is giving you a warped view of the business world. Plenty of people go to B-School for areas other than Wall Street, Buyside or Consulting. Just check out the career placement sections of the top schools. Obviously, Wall Street, Buyside & Consulting are major destinations but plenty of folks go into corp fi, brand management, general management, corporate development, entrepreneurship & non-profit.

 

You pay because the mba will get you where you want to be, whatever that means for you.

There are plenty of people who want to do marketing/cpg, and "regular" corp fin. Larger still are the "i don't know yet" category. This might be a bit different at heavy finance schools like Wharton and Chicago, but i would guess it holds at just about anywhere else.

please never use the word "baller" again.
