<p>Yes. Absolutely yes. I actually just posted this in another thread. I’m a senior and none of my friends are concerned about finding jobs. It’s actually the opposite… we have lots of options and are in the position where we can be really choosy. I haven’t started the job search yet (ah, get off CC and start doing that!!!) but with years of work experience, several great employer recs, and all the connections that co-op has given me, I’m not worried (my boss said recently, “where do you want to live? I have friends all over, I could always give them a call. Or you can always work here.” Also, a friend of mine worked in DC on co-op and referred me to her boss–even our classmates are good connections!). We’re all sort of in this position, not just me. We aren’t worried about finding a job. We’re not even worried about finding a good job. That’s a pretty sweet position to be in considering the economy.</p>
<p>As for grad school, I’d say nearly half of my friends are planning on it. It’s never because they’re worried about getting a job and think “well… I guess… I’ll just go to grad school since no one will hire me…”, it’s because they want to and/or have chosen fields where they’ll be able to really utilize a phd/md/ma/mph/mba. I assume neuchimie is in the same boat–I can’t imagine that she’s freaking out about being unemployable!</p>
