Text 2. Grads Enter Uncertain Job Market

College graduation brings both the satisfaction of academic achievement and the expectation of a well-paying job. Окончание школы приносит две вещи – удовлетворение от постижения учения и ожидание хорошо оплачиваемой работы.

But for 6000 graduates at San Jose State this year, there's uncertainty as they enter one of the worst job markets in decades. Ryan Stewart has a freshly minted degree in religious studies, but no job prospects. Но для 6000 выпускников штата Сан Хосе в этом году существует неуверенность, поскольку они входят в один из худших рынков вакансий этого десятилетия.

"You look at everybody's parents and neighbors, and they're getting laid off and don't have jobs," said Stewart. «Вы смотрите на родителей каждого и соседей, и они уволены и не имеют работы, » - сказал Стюарт."Then you look at the young people just coming into the workforce... it's just scary." Затем посмотрите на молодых людей только пришедших в трудовые ресурсы….это просто пугает.

When the class of 2003 entered college the future never looked brighter. Когда ученики 2003 года поступили в колледж, будущее никогда не выглядело таким ярким. But in the four years they've been here, the world outside has changed dramatically. Но через четыре года они были уже здесь, мир снаружи резко изменился.

"Those were the exciting times, lots of dot-com opportunities, exploding offers, students getting top dollar with lots of benefits," said Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge, of the San Jose State Career Center. Тогда было захватывающие времена, масса возможностей в интернет сфере, взрывные предложения, студенты ,зарабатывающие доллары с выгодой, - сказала Шерил Алмен-Виннидж из Центра профориентации штата Сан Хосе. "Times have changed. It's a new market." Времена изменились. Это новый рынок

Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge ought to know. Шерил Алмен-Виннидж должна знать. She runs the San Jose State Career Center (it is) sort of a crossroads between college and the real world. Она руководит Центром профориентации штата Сан Хосе, своего рода перекресток колледжа и настоящим миром. Allmen-Vinnidge says students who do find jobs after college have done their homework. Алмен-Виннидж говорит студетам, которые хотят найти работу после колледжа, что они должны делать свою домашнюю работу.

"The typical graduate who does have a job offer started working on it two years ago. Типичный выпускник, который хочет получить предложение работы, начал работать над этим два года назад. They've postured themselves well during the summer. Они заняли хорошую позицию для себя летом. They've had several internships," she said. «У них есть несколько интернатур,»- сказала она.

And they've majored in one of the few fields that are still hot -- like chemical engineering, accounting, or nursing -- where average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields (like information systems management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines in starting salaries.

Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may just end up going back to school.

"I'd like to teach college some day and that requires more schooling, which would be great in a bad economy," he said.

To some students a degree may not be ticket to instant wealth. For now, they can only hope its value will increase over time.

Follow-up Notes

A “dot com” is a company whose operations are mostly Internet-based. The term comes from the Internet address of such companies. For example, www.microsoft.com is read as “w-w-w dot microsoft dot com.” In the 1990s thousands of new dot coms started up, opening up work opportunities for many thousands of college graduates. Many of these companies eventually failed.
