I keep hearing stories from my friends about recent college graduates who have gotten good jobs.

None of them majored in liberal arts, however.

Yup. I teach in a grad program. Students can wind up serving in a variety of organizational types, from the wretchedly poor nonprofit to Fortune 100 corporations.

I have to bang these ‘kids’ (some are married w/kids of their own) over the head to get them to understand that companies are not evil and that living in poverty the rest of your life should not be the prize for 2 years in grad school.

I guess it’s no surprise that the males in the field end up in the higher paying and management-oriented jobs while a good number of the women wind up getting the lowest paying jobs. I’m female myself and want to smack some of these women sometimes.
