Which MBAs Make More: Consultants or Small-Business Owners? hbr.org digital article, June 28, 2016

Ruback, Richard S., and Royce Yudkoff. (2016)

Compares the economics of a consulting career with owning a small firm. Only the opening paragraph (on compensation being more than money) is visible; the comparison itself and whatever numbers support it are paywalled and were not read. A companion HBR video, "What's the Most Lucrative MBA Career?" (July 13, 2016), is listed on the hbr.org author search page and was not opened.
