Well, that darn MBA degree still has a great ROI…“Over their lifetime, an MBA grad can expect to earn $3M more than someone w/ only a bachelor’s.” Great ROI!?…At about 98% of universities that offer MBAs, grads typically made more money 2 years out of school than they had borrowed. That stands in contrast to law schools, where roughly 6% of programs had grads w/ higher median earnings than debt in the same time frame.

“Companies have been shifting from a “traditional experience-based” hiring approach to a skills-first one…” Keep that in mind w/ your resume & LI profile. I actually have employers tell me they will NOT consider a student if they do NOT have a strong professional LinkedIn presence. Hmm. How to effectively join LinkedIn. https://lnkd.in/dAwyTUy. I have former students that found new jobs & they were not even looking! Interviewing tools:

So, America has > 10M vacant jobs, but it also has 7M unemployed young men that are not looking for work, & they spend 2,000 hours/yr behind a screen. Isn’t 2K hrs/yr like a real full-time job? Ugh. My students are getting worried about the job market because they are hearing about this recession. Yes, recessions tend to be VERY bad for college grads. However…

My students are getting worried about the job market because they are hearing about this recession. Yes, recessions tend to be VERY bad for college grads. However…there are only (sarcasm) around 10M unfilled jobs. National unemployment is 3.7% (near 50 year lows). That is not a labor recession.

My colleagues and I put this list together for multiple business disciplines. Data shows that people earn more and have more job security if they become engaged members of their professional discipline. One way to do that is to join industry specific associations related to their majors. Further, these associations often have certifications that externally validate you as a subject matter expert.
