Resolves to the highest salary offer that I get within three months of completing full time business school. If I don't complete bschool at least three months before the resolution date, it will resolve N/A. If I take a job and then get a raise within three months, the post-raise amount will count toward resolution. Question is only about base comp, excludes bonuses and benefits. MBA, MSCM, MSF and similar degrees will count as business school; certification courses, coding bootcamps, and graduate schools in other fields like engineering or public policy will not count. Part time or online bschool will not count.

Resolves in nominal USD, not adjusted for inflation.

My main goal in business school would be to get a job with a higher salary, and preferably in a medium cost of living city such as Houston, Dallas, or Atlanta. If I don't believe that going to bschool will give me a good ROI, I probably won't do it.
