"and i'd rather be pushing flowers than to be in the pen sharing showers."

the class of 2009 will graduate into one of the worse job markets seen in over a generation. the ajc stated yesterday that on campus recruiting has been down 15 to 20 percent nationwide and u.s. businesses which have reportedly had over 1 million job cuts since july plan to hire 22% less than they did last year.

those lucky enough to have actually gotten job offers are expected to get paid 2.2% less than last year.

in even gloomier news: the ajc projects that "the class of 2009 will likely end up at the end of a long line of workers with more experience, giving them a delayed start in their careers".
