Is there a graduate degree that would start out around $78,000/year

Is there a graduate degree that would start out around $78,000/year?
I realize this is a broad question, but humor it for a bit...imagine that I could have a bachelors degree in Economics. Say, I can either get an MBA in whatever specialization (I like Finance), MA in Economics or an MS in Economics...or another option could be just to drop everything and get a degree in Math and a minor in Econ with all the above mentioned being an option with the Math degree...would any of the combinations bring me closer than the others to the coveted $78,000 mark? Thanks... I like all these options, therefore I wouldn't be chasing money...

With what you mentioned I would have to say that some Market Research Analysts start out making a little less than that if they are at a large corporation. My advice would be to intern at one in a large city like NYC or LA and make contacts that you could refer back to once it comes time to start the job hunt. Good luck and I hope you find what you are looking for, especially in this economy.

A starting job in a law or financial firm in NYC might pay that much - unlikely in say Iowa. But other than very high cost of living places, and even in most of them, $78K to start would be exceptional.
