Mixed Outlook for College Grads
While for some of the 2.2 million
college-age graduates in the class of 2010, it's a terrible time to be looking
for a job, others have companies chasing them. The Great Recession has forced many
grads to be "boomerang kids", until they can find a job. Often when
they do find jobs, they are low-paying, part-time positions outside their fields
of study.
Though recent college grads are not
ideal job candidates, those with certain specialized degrees are in high demand
in some cities, notably Cincinnati, and they’re commanding surprisingly high
starting salaries. With the 10.2 percent unemployment in that Metro Area and
the thousands of out-of-work professionals looking for jobs, it is curious.
A recent survey of the 1,400 member
companies in the Employers Resource Association (ERA), a Cincinnati-based
HR services and consulting consortium revealed some fascinating statistics
about average starting salaries was for recent college graduates.
As usual, engineering and technical
students will earn the most. Of the top ten best-paying fields for students
with bachelor's degrees, eight were in engineering and the sciences, with
starting salaries ranging from $48,000 to $54,333. Many of these engineering
and science jobs are highly skilled positions requiring training. Employers are
willing to pay for graduates' specialized knowledge.
The bachelor-degreed graduates commanding
the highest starting salaries in Greater Cincinnati are chemical engineering
($54,333), public relations ($54,000), software engineering ($53,964),
electrical engineering ($51,266), and construction science ($51,000). Reinforcing
these results was a recent report from the National Association of Colleges and
Employers in which eight of the ten top-paying majors are in engineering.
By contrast, the graduates commanding
the lowest starting salaries are criminal justice and corrections ($26,000),
liberal arts and sciences ($29,970), English ($30,470), psychology ($33,500)
and communications ($36,079).
Also recently, Yahoo.com released
its list of the most desirable degrees:
·*Healthcare
·*Business
Administration
·*Computer Science
·*Accounting/Finance
·*Engineering
·* Marketing
Other data from the ERA study reflected that employers are
paying the most for specialized degrees. Expect this payment for specialization
to continue and the move towards specialization in all fields to intensify.

Outlook Business Contact Manager
- I've just installed the new Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager and am testing it out to see how good of a CRM system it is. I like the concept because it works right within your Outlook and I already have all my contacts and emails here.
Does anybody have any experience with Business Contact Manager for Outlook?
Managing emails
- From the promo page it looks like they can handle up to 16 emails.
What are the benefits of using this over other email checking software? I have 6 accounts that I check regularly and use Outlook while at the office and either my web hosting webmail or gmail when I'm away. Does this program save you time over using Outlook?
Backing up data on Outlook
- Hi Jen
At the moment, I have 1 email account on Rogers Yahoo for personal use and 3 different emails for business (i.e. 2 on MS Outlook and 1 with Yahoo). However, I don't backup anything as I've never really had any problems yet.
Can I ask what was the ineffective method used when trying to backup your Outlook data?
Update: Spam software
- Well I still have not found a good plugin that will work with Outlook 2007. My web hosting client has an option to detect and delete spam on the server before it gets to my inbox but I am worried that it will delete some of my important emails.
If anyone has had luck with Outlook 2007 and getting their spam issues solved, please post and let me know!
Email spam
- Hi guys - great topic!
Kevin, I do have a rule on my email that sends any messages from you to a special folder so I can get to it. It may not be right away but it's faster than to anyone else! I find that my rules really help. I set priorities for Kevin and members of my staff as well as family, media, key partners, and advertisers.
I also get hundreds of spam per day and long for the days of only 20. I used to have a fantastic program that you install with your Outlook and it can learn what is spam and what is not. It learns as you go. At first it did an ok job but I as I trained it, it got to be very good. It classified messages as normal, junk, or junk suspects. I ended up never having to check my junk folder and the junk suspects were usually quick to sort through. I rarely also got any spam to my inbox.
The problem is they haven't made a version for the newest version of Outlook so I'm clogged again with spam. I've tried many different applications and still haven't found one that beat my original favourite. If you want to try it out, it was called SpamBayes.
