Are Graduates Finding Jobs?

Much to my mother’s despair, my sister (rising junior at NYU) came home from her semester abroad having not started the job hunt. After a couple weeks, she had THREE job offers in hand – two paid, one “stipend”. I’m a rising senior and started looking last fall, got through three rounds of one company’s interviews before being told they were cutting the program, and then in February, landed the paid internship I’m in now. Most everyone I know from my Tier 1 LAC has a job for the summer though a LOT more people are going back up to school and doing research for professors.

By the way, my sister’s a communications major and I’m an English major. I’m totally thanking my lucky stars that everything worked out this summer.
