I'm sure that we all have wondered at times, "Is any of this college stuff worth it?" Especially during weeks like presumed "dead week" and finals week, this seems like a common question. With the current economy and the behavior or employers, this seems an ever increasing sentiment of college students. This article is interesting because it highlights how college grads are meeting a difficult job market and not finding what they hoped. With roughly half of grads being unemployed or underemployed after graduation, it is hard to be optimistic about what awaits us. Good luck Seniors!
Graduation is not all it is cracked up to be
I know, I graduated from college during another lull in the economy (1994), and faced the same gloomy news. FWIW, at 25, I was waitressing with a baby and a master's degree from Notre Dame!

And they shouldn't call it Dead Week. That's just false advertising.
