This week in MBA Express

Dear Reader:

For anyone contemplating a career in financial services, a group that includes a goodly number of MBAs, the news from Wall Street these last few weeks has been anything but encouraging. Big banks including UBS, Deutsche Bank, Barclays, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup and Credit Suisse have all announced deep pay cuts. Some have already trimmed headcount.

So will MBAs continue to flock to investment banking jobs that are no longer as stable or lucrative as they once were? I think MBAs will always have an interest in Wall Street jobs, and that if that changes in any substantive way the change will come very slowly. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. As graduates find new uses for their degrees, they'll discover new opportunities to make a positive difference in the world.

Will they be Masters of the Universe? Depends on your definition.
