The Class of 2009 - A Career Instead of a Job

From CareerBuilder.com:
"The class of 2009 will face the most competitive job market in years, as companies continue to proceed with caution amid economic uncertainty, according to CareerBuilder’s newly released annual college job forecast.The percentage of employers planning to hire recent college grads is roughly half of what it was just two years ago. Only 43 percent of employers plan to hire recent college graduates in 2009, down from 56 percent in 2008 and 79 percent in 2007."

While a career in real estate sales may not be the answer, it might be worth considering. The market is down right now, but there are signs of recovery and we think when it comes out it's slumber it will come out with a sustained upswing. Housing affordability is at its highest point in years, mortgage rates are at their lowest point in years, absorption rate (month's supply of inventory) is dropping steadily in most areas, and there is an $8,000. incentive for first time home buyers to act now. Similar to investing when the market is down, it might be a benefit to invest in a career instead of looking for a job.
