Top 5 Worst Colleges for Graduate Jobs
Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009One of the most irritating questions a fresh faced college graduate can hear is, “what are you are you going to do next?”. Before you can even celebrate, there is one word that everyone keeps whispering in your ear: JOBS JOBS JOBS. The second you graduate, jobs are supposed to throw themselves at you like desperate freshmen. Unfortunately for the recent graduates, the scenario has changed. Frankly, in this job market, our chances are better at taking up a career in exotic dancing or becoming a professional Quidditch player than getting a nice, entry-level marketing position.
Below is a list of the 5 worst schools to graduate from in a recession, based on the starting salary of graduates and their overall cost of tuition. We added some alliteration, just for fun.
Morehead State University ($34,800) State school students’ salaries suffer
Black Hills State University ($35,300) Poor payroll post-graduation
Colorado College ($38,500.00) Liberal learning = less loot
University of Alabama Tuscaloosa ($41,300) Alabamians aren’t always affluent
Ivy League Brown University ($56,200) Ivy income isn’t immune
