Whether you’re already out in the working world or you’re just about to graduate, you may be keen to improve your career as much as possible. After all, half of the equation for improving life’s overall financial outcome depends on our income potential. But what options do you have to do that? Sometimes, it can take you years before you’re going to be able to get to the position that you want to be in. And that can seem stressful. So maybe you should consider going for your MBA instead.

With an MBA, you should find that your medium base salary, as seen in the infographic below, is higher than if you were to graduate with your bachelor’s alone. In fact, it’s almost half! So if you’re not sure what you want to do after school, or you want to be able to improve your career prospects now, maybe studying is what you should do.
