    University of Manchester MBA has an average age of 34. I thought this was quite low considering you have to be over 27 to take this course.

    Is the M.Acc in Smurfit the same deal but you can do it straight out of college or is an MBA different?

    MBA in the states will mean you have huge earning power, ie 100k plus range. From what I know of friends over there, they say most grad schools will generally only accept applicants who have been working 3-4yrs post-degree because they feel you have yet to acquire the necessary skills/work experience needed to contribute to the program.

    M.acc is different from an MBA, it just gives exemptions from exams and a shorter training contract!

    edit: to answer the op question, most people I know that have gone are in the 27/28 age group, they also held high positions within companies

    I'm not too sure myself to be honest, have a look at this link and you'll see the average rates for MBA grads http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/mba100/2007/pay/industry_salary1.html

    It'll also depend on which grad school you do your MBA at, the higher ranked the school is the more you can expect to earn within your first few years.

    Rankings are here http://www.mbaprograms.org/mbaprograms/mbarankings.asp
