"I don't have a sense that students are so nervous yet," she said. "They know the economy is bad, but they're not that nervous. In times like this, students typically apply more to graduate school. I don't know if that's really happening this year."
Goldsbury said that not only are companies still hiring, but they are also actively courting UMass students.
"I just started the career fair for engineering that starts in October, and I already have 12 companies - companies that are already planning on hiring for next year," said Goldsbury. "College students need to always have faith because people are looking for educated, articulate, motivated young people."
Goldsbury said using University resources can help in the transition between campus and a working environment. Additionally, she said the office can help students find a working environment, too, even if it takes some a bit longer.
"Students can use the online services forever and counseling services for 6 months [after they graduate]," said Goldsbury.

Good luck finding a job with your...
Art History, History, Psychology, Philosophy, Music, English, etc. degree.
Why are college students shocked that their liberal arts degree isn't putting them first in line at Fortune 500 companies? I kind of feel bad for these people that wasted 4 years and near $100,000. (Continued…)
