A Glimpse of Hope?

Throughout college, all I've done is read articles proclaiming how difficult it is these days for recent grads to find a job. On top of that, liberal arts majors--and particularly psych majors-- are earning some of the lowest salaries. So imagine my surprise when I opened up the lastest "Top Paying Jobs for Recent Grads" article and read this:


"With less than four months to go before saying sayonara to the quad for good, the class of 2007 is finding it easier than recent classes to get their foot in the work world.

Employers have said they expect to hire 17.4 percent more college grads than they did last year, and in many instances they plan to pay them more, too, according to a survey released this week by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE)."



Finally! I knew something would change! I knew I wouldn't be completely screwed when I graduate. It may have taken three and a half years, but things have turned around right in time!

Wait...whats that? What does that say at the end?:


"There have been slight decreases in the average starting salary offers for just a few majors, but NACE notes that given that it's still early in the hiring season and the job market is strong for college grads, salary offers may improve in the next few months:

* Logistics/Materials management: Down 1.8 percent to $43,294
* Liberal arts (including psychology, political science history, English): Down 1.1 percent to $30,502"


Crap.
