[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's no secret that the job market is rough for college grads in general, [b]but the market for grads of small liberal arts colleges seems almost nonexistent. [/b]Every grad I know is either eyeing grad school or working a low end job that does not require a college degree.

I'm afraid that these SLACS just aren't preparing students for the real world of the 21st century.  [/quote]

This is simply not true. You'll find plenty of SLACs in this Forbes list of the "top 50 return on investment colleges":  http://www.forbes.com/pictures/fkmm45ehgi/18-university-of-chicago/ .  Williams, Amherst, Berea, Welllesley, Smith, and tones more.[/quote]

too funny - when the "notable grads" are older than your grandparents you know that change has not been kind to some of these schools.  Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but it is a BIG mistake to assume that schools at static - reputations can change when schools change - but there is a lag before the general population understands what has happened.[/quote]
