Usman, I am sure no one is 'jealous' here,. the thing is I find most of your questions in the 'what if' catagory
Well any ways here are my two cents on this.
1) You need to have relevant work experience to get into a top notch MBA Uni,. the Harvards, LBS, Whartons, Stanfords and all that
2) It is definately more than worth while to get a decent MBA, but you need to know why you are getting it, MBA is not a degree in itself (as is the case in Pakistan). It is to top a degree. So you need to know what you are going to top it with a degree in Economics, Business, Accounting, Acturial Sciences.
3) You need to be a professional before you go in for an MBA, say you work in a Bank in operations or Credit etc. then go in for an MBA
4) I couldn't put a starting salary for an MBA, it depends on what kind of experience you have and what industry you are talking about. Say in the City a fresh MBA in Investment Banking would probably get some thing like GBP 40-50k plus, So it is comparable to Fresh qualified accountants who get some thing over GBP 40 K (Big4).
Now this is just an accountant's opinion, I may have the numbers wrong.. perhaps an MBA from such a Uni can fill you in !!! any takers ?
