Found this encouraging article on MSN today, thought some of you may care to take a look at it:

https://encarta.msn.com/encnet/Departmen ... s&GT1=9279

This part was especially intriguing:

Quote:
Q: Are some companies facing an M.B.A. talent shortage this year?

A: Many companies are asking, "Will there be enough M.B.A. students for us to recruit for our future leadership moving forward?" Already, some companies in the bellwether industries are not going to meet their projected yield this year. An investment bank that wanted to hire 80 associates this year may end up getting only 70. To their credit, the company plans to increase its pipeline of summer interns this year to try to avoid a shortfall again next year for full-time recruits. If it only wanted 50 summer associates before, now it's hoping to get 70 and focus on converting many of them to full-time hires by the end of the internship.

Good readings, nice to know things are good right now.
