Is FGCU's class of 2009 in trouble?

In a recent article posted on the New York Times website, researchers analyzed the job market and what sort of prospects new graduates will face when they enter the work force this year. Is FGCU's class of 2009 in trouble? Researchers say no. Even though the unemployment rate peaked at a 25-year high and employers figure on hiring 22 percent less graduates than last year, research has proven that all hope is not lost for the graduating class of 2009.

The solution? Accept the fact that jobs are limited and your dream job may not fall into your hands just yet. Life-long careers do not have to be the first job you earn, so graduates may end up in a lesser-paid and less-luxurious job than they originally shot for. However, this also doesn't mean do not shoot for your dreams. Just because the country sunk a little, doesn't mean your self-esteem has to follow in its footsteps.
