@Mlmama, our son decided to go to grad school. It was a tough decision but his goal is to work for the Dept. of State and a masters will help him get there; particularly this program which offers internships with places like UNESCO as part of the program. He got into great schools, has been offered assistantships at the schools he has been accepted to, and even had one school asking him what they needed to give him to be competitive with his other offers. He did interview for jobs as well and was deep in the process with a couple before he decided that grad school was his path. And this came even though his GPA was compromised a little by the econ department’s tough grading practices.

Ditto what swim4school said about consulting firms and corporate America loving these kids. Several companies come to campus and actively recruit HOD majors. A few of my son’s friends have great jobs with Deloitte next year.
