What Job Would Make You Happy? Among the most distressing facts of the Great Recession is the length of unemployment. Previously, job seekers could expect a search to last four to six weeks for every $10,000 they expected to earn. The average length of unemployment now extends more than seven months, more for senior job seekers and high-income earners. Executives whose industries have been hit especially hard face even greater periods out of work or may never work in their fields again. So, it’s fair to ask the question: “At what point is it time to start considering a different line of work?” Don’t get me wrong: If you’re fully engaged in what feels like a fruitful job search, please stay with it.

But what if you’re not? Sure, Napoleon Hill said, “Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.” Your awesome day Even if you’re just wondering what other type of work you might do, it’s not a bad idea to think things through a bit.

By John A. ByrnePoets & QuantsAuthor on December 27, 2010 HIGHEST PAID MBAs AT TOP SCHOOLS THIS YEAR. SOURCE: Business school employment reports. * An estimate based on Harvard’s report that a $185,000 base salary for one of its Class of 2010 MBAs is at the 75th percentile of the range of offers for private grads going into private equity.

An estimate based on Tuck’s report that a $201,000 base salary for one of its Class of 2010 MBAs is at the 90th percentile of the range of offers to the class. Most business schools try to play these numbers down because they don’t want to raise unrealistic expectations among applicants and students. After all, the average starting pay for MBAs from most elite schools is a third or less of these outsized gains. The University of Virginia’s Darden School and the University of Michigan’s Ross School only report median and average compensation numbers so that applicants never know how much the lowest or highest-paid graduates pull down in base salary.
