[BusinessWeek, May 8th, 2006 issue, p.88]

Oscar Wilde once said, "When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is."

I know conventional wisdom says that it's tacky to talk about money ... but since we're already on the subject, let me just ask anyway ... do you know how much you are worth? How much compensation should you expect to earn at this point in your career? What do other people with the same job title and/or responsibilities earn and how do their benefits compare to yours? How can you increase what you earn?

Read about how much you can expect to earn with a business degree or an M.B.A. in our 'Mini-Guide' to earning a business degree online.

Show me the salary for a business degree holder!

See the salary for an M.B.A. holder!
