New hires wait to hear the fate of their jobs with Bear Stearns as financial hiring in general appears shakier The stunning collapse and fire sale of investment house Bear Stearns (BSC)—a major employer of business graduates—has added another worry to an already shaky hiring outlook for business grads, college officials say. While major career services organizations haven't entirely reversed earlier predictions that the hiring market for 2008 grads is going to be strong, reports of recruiters cutting back on the number of job offers and, in some cases, lower starting salaries are beginning to surface. Reductions are not just happening

When the Wall Street Journal surveyed corporate recruiters back in 2005, more than half of the respondents said they viewed online degrees either somewhat differently or very differently from those of on-campus graduates. Andrea Williams, deputy director of human resources for the Polk County Sheriffs Office, is earning her masters degree through an online program.

Having spent the last two years in business school, Davi Bryan certainly understands that things are far from normal in the U.S. economy. However, financial-market turbulence hasn't affected her or most of her classmates, who picked up their MBA degrees Friday from Washington University's Olin School of Business. "It has had a direct impact on only one student that I know of," Bryan said. "People are getting great jobs." Bryan, 29, had three offers and accepted a job months ago as a human capital consultant with Deloitte & Touche. The firm was one of her top choices of employers and the job

Tom Starin doesn't begin to meet most recruiters' expectations of the perfect M.B.A. candidate. Unlike most M.B.A. students, he has almost no work experience besides summer internships. He graduated just this spring from Pennsylvania State University, with a bachelor's degree in meteorology and a minor in global business strategy.
