Wrong, you can hire a company to create a sponsor and pay outright.

Hired two recent grads with no experience in their field of study because they were unable to secure a job.

Never start your career during a downturn. Tell him or her to go to grad school. Trust me, I had friends laid off after 1 year or less at Bear Sterns, Lehman Brothers. It was BRUTAL.

I’ve heard that graduate programs are getting extra applications just like colleges.

I’d do my best to go straight into a graduate degree to ride it out and exit with better credentials. Livening your parents basement for a year is a bad idea.

They should get. A security clearance ASAP.

Or go get a job at an Amazon warehouse. Easy to move up/around internally, great benefits and the best way to get a new job is to have a job.

Daughter is also graduating and no job yet. My advice? Network with alumni. You already have something in common. I try to help fellow graduates any way I can.


How do they connect with Alumni?

Saw a job for an "internship" stating that an MBA was a "nice to have." It's rough out here. My suggestion would be to network like hell.
