    lol.... um... average starting pay for business has gone down but its still around 50k. A friend of mine graduated a year ago fall from UGA business with a bba and picked up a job in February making 49k. Before the downturn most BBA's would come out making 60k, average salary for someone with an MBA is usually 80-100 before bonus.

    Apply at Ernst & Young... they have a presence downtown and last I checked they have positions available in Atlanta. You said you have economic background so maybe it'd interest you?
