This tidbit about Australian schools is especially interesting:

It also helps that high-paying mining and energy firms have begun to recruit managers straight from their MBA programmes, rather than rely on promoting engineers from within. This has helped make Australia?s MBAs the highest-paid in the world. Recent graduates at Curtin Business School, in Western Australia, earned an average of $150,000 in their first job out of business school, easily outstripping peers from Harvard, London or Chicago.

Who would have thought that Curtin's graduates make so much? What's surprising to me is that less than 10% of Curtin MBA graduates go into the energy sector, so the outsized salaries are coming from other industries, as well.
