<p>It has always been a rough go for those kids with liberal arts or other majors that do not land you directly into a field hungry for applicants. Nursing, other health field careers, many engineers, accountants were doing well in the job hunts even when things were virtually at a standstill in our economy. But I am finding, living here in a well to do area, that a number of the kids getting jobs tend to have family contacts to get them the first foot in the door, and it really doesn’t matter where those kids went to college. The exception to this is getting a degree that is sought after. The acctg majors from the SUNYs and CUNYs are doing better than many of the ivy grads, a lot in great sounding internships that are not paying them a living wage and are not serious career track positions. </p>
