Business school students are bracing for an uncertain job market this coming school year as many traditional corporate recruiters shelve their usual fall hiring plans

“In a normal year, we’d have everything buttoned up and schedules set, we would have already been on campus in several places,” said Dan Black, global recruiting lead for EY. “The next four to five months are going to determine a lot of things.” Kevin Stacia, an M.B.A. career coach and corporate-relations manager at Georgia Tech’s Scheller College of Business, said students and employers are stuck in limbo for now. “Nobody is making commitments yet,” he said.

Several big companies, including McKinsey & Co. and Boston Consulting Group, had already pushed back the start dates for spring graduates who expected to begin full-time roles this summer. Many who had locked down summer 2020 job offers back in the fall of 2019 are still waiting to hear when they can report to work. PwC says some new employees may not start until November.

Sure fire way to acquire debt

Get a CompSci or Engineering (Computer, Electrical, Chemical) degrees and you will have a job if GPA 3 or above. That is a fact!

By think journalists may have some issues very soon too

You're are so f*cking right about this s*it !!!

Need a professional credit repair or real estate website, landing page or sales funnel for your credit repair, real estate or other businesses? See

Get a trade - local trade unions are hemorrhaging people and there will be a need for welders, electricians, etc., far into the foreseeable future. Our country needs educated citizens, but most degrees are worth about as much as the paper they’re printed on & u can self-educate

-!! B'Hwill Israel stand by this hypocrisy?

It’s an unusual year.

👀👀

C’mon a few years they said MBA is a crappy degree

College is a Scam today

Discouraging people from advancing themselves....I see.

There are lots of unemployed MBA grads on streets since 2016

salihahahaiqbal Yey sunnay ko reh gaya tha. 🙁

Getting an MBA was always and still is worthless. The boomers who touted this nonsense are morons. It's STEM, trades or nothing. Forget 'bid-naz' or sales and marketing if you're getting a degree. The lies need to stop.

The trump disaster

I don’t think it’s ever been a sure fire. Every for profit university offers an MBA now.

ivy or don't bother

Trump is nasty.

It wasn’t a surefie in 2019 either.

Everybody and their mother has an MBA; it means almost nothing. Better yet, if you go to college get a specialized degree in a field that actually fills a need (doctor, engineer, actuarial sciences/risk management. etc.). But whatever you do DON'T be a journalism major. LOL

bighuss90

It is the most pedestrian and over awarded graduate degree there is.

Thanks to Donald Trump, our young people face years of high unemployment and poor job prospects

OMG - MBA's are suffering while tens of millions of others also are out of work. Take another count in December. Compare the number of out-of-work MBA's vs the number of out-of-work dishwashers.

America under this buffoon trump!!! Good luck

wow

Lucky it last,s for life

not for years

Ironic since these graduates usually have more arrogance than real business sense.

Seriously

Not worth the money... Focus on specific skills

Who needs jobs? Looting is king.

Degrees are pointless, anyone with enough drive and passion can teach themselves the skills require to perform the task.

We hear there are quite a few openings for Marxist 'peaceful protesters'. Today's graduate are possibly best trained for these jobs. Drop Uncle George Soros a line, he'll hook you up!

They have become a dime a dozen...

My MBA never earned me one extra penny. Experience is the most valuable commodity

You don’t say? Recommend trade school!

Cherry-picking from the larger issue: Degrees alone don't get you anywhere. - build your network - get some experience - get involved in extracurriculars Stop acting like degrees are enough.

I mean, this is literally all master's and phds at this point for the past at least 5 years. Even if you finish top 5-10% of your class, you have to fight tooth and nail for a job. I have a fucking grad degree in public health and still can't get a job despite a pandemic

Masks work. Climate change is real. Vaccines are effective. Trust scientists.

I have an engineering degree and apply for jobs regularly. I've had 3 interviews in 5 years. The job market is dead.

Trade jobs college jobs

WSJ: Elite MBA grads are finding the promised robust jobs aren't actually there. IT/CompSci graduates from .com bust & '08 recession eras: Sucks when that happens, doesn't it?

Chelslmaldonado

Everyone who got a fine arts degree right now

This is the natural state of things. A HS disploma was the ticket to succeed in the 1940s-70s. College degree was what you needed 1980-2000. Since then MBA is a must, nothing special. Do we all need doctorates in Acct, Finance, Comp Sci to be employable? Probably.

Why do people spend fucking thousands for their education? As Lewis Black famously said in 'Accepted' 4 years of college will be the best years of your life. After that, you're fucked🤪

why did you put Northeastern photo here?

When was an MBA ever a surefire way to land a job?

Want a job? Learn how to fix something with your hands. Like HVAC or electrical or plumbing. You can earn six figures and it’s recession proof. Plus you don’t come out in debt up to your eye.

Bwahahahaha

It’s not just because of the virus. It’s because the job market is saturated with them. It’s the same with the computer science grads, again a saturated market. Companies want skills and experience...not theory.

No shock really. Poorly trained.

Universities are just indoctrination mills at this point. I wouldn’t want anyone working for me that has been in college learning grievance studies either.

Started it...it was shit...moved into project management without it ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

Duh. What did you think would happen when you dumbed it down and let anyone who could pass multiple-choice tests with their books in front of them get one? College degrees mean nothing when you can simple hire someone to take your classes online.

Don't their dads know someone?

Me. Ice?. Conservative Values. Liberal Sentiments.

Do you guys ensure your physical papers are safe to read during covid? I’ve been avoiding it and I miss reading them

MBA’s are way over rated justsaying

Having an MBA is like having a bachelors degree in International Relations. Sort of. Without a unique skill set or in-demand job experience, an MBA doesn’t really mean anything ... and companies are never looking to overpay. Yes, I’m talking about myself.

In technical terms: a market correction.

Lol is this really news? It’s been like this for years. Only MBAs that matter are from top 4 schools and if you’re already affiliated with a major corporation or consulting firm.

Lmao a MBA gives you nothing but debt. Get hired into a company that will pay you to get one, if you choose...

Nobody is swimming in job offers. It’s the worst economic downturn in recordable history lol

Nah. I know plenty of MBAs who got nowhere with it. You have to already be in the inner circle for it to make a difference.

Or in 2010 when I graduated with mine.

Randorojas por algo pasan las cosas. Te salvaste

Powell : l foresee the employment market is going to get much worse before it gets better. The students have to brace for some hard times ahead. Sad to say that but it's true.😭

Uncertain = nonexistance! 😛

That’s what happens when DungDon is involved. ETTD

thanks

iamkoshiek In case you haven’t seen it.

The Democratic Party has become the party of intolerance, censorship and Racism. Democrats have incited riots and promoted Marxist revolution, but offered NO protection to law abiding citizens. The country is waking to their evil and it has sealed their fate!
