In Reply To: what school are you in? Ivy? If not, you have no hope! MBA's are not worth the paper they are printed on if you don't have the right school. aim differently and think about working for start-ups. Money would be good and atmosphere great!
Message: I find it quite odd that you chose to get an MBA before getting any work experience. This could actually pit you at a disadvantage compared to other undergrads, because basically you'll only be marginally more valuable to a company than an undergrad with no experience, but they'll have to pay you more because of your graduate degree, which, in many (or most) cases, will result in you losing out to the undergrad.
