Though it is true, it sucks for a PHD student to be making less than someone who has a single bachelor's or master's degree. I am going to get my MFE but I think if I were a company... I would hire a math PHD rather than a MFE, especially for a quant position, because they are more quantitatively challenged. Also, is it true that MFE's make 100k starting salary? isn't that what the undergrads make when they go into banking at a bulge bracket? Shouldn't we (MFE's) be making more?</blockquote>
