The Bleak Job Market for New IT Grads

Lining Up for Jobs
The upside of Mike Reeves' job is that he's working in IT. The downside is that this newly minted graduate with a master's in IS management from Brigham Young University is working for his dad. He's developing a Visual Basic application that will churn out proposals for insurance clients. It's not a bad job, but working for a small, family-owned business is certainly not what he had in mind when he decided to get his master's degree. Why not something more in line with his training? Because since graduating in June, Reeves hasn't been able to find such a job.
