Virtually all of my students are finding decent jobs.

I'd like to see your stats. What college? What degree?


Good question. I don't think there are really many people out there
who would make Bill's statement.


All I will say further is that one of our students got a job as a
software developer with Microsoft last year.


That's a lot different from the statement that you previously made.?


Where is the conflict? Our students (in this area) are finding jobs and
other good opportunities. I think new graduates, having indefinite
promise, may have some advantage in the competition for jobs.




Perhaps it's a matter of defining what the
phrase "decent jobs" means to Bill. Having graduated 4 kids from
college, I know from first hand knowledge that Bill's statement does
not represent the norm. I don't believe it even represents his
experience...
