NextGeneration
Good news. Real Estate markets are beginning to recover, and arehiring, but only at the top. The bad news is that there are slimpickings for lower and mid-level positions. This is especially badnews for under-graduates and newly minted MBAs, who are findingthat competition for job postings is fierce. I checked-in with acouple of real estate programs over the last couple weeks andlearned that graduates are encountering an extremely difficultmarket and only 25% of the classes have thus far secured jobs.Entry-level jobs are attracting seriously over-qualified talent,and employers are responding, figuring they can hire and leverageexperienced talent for a year or two, and take their chances on aneventual exodus. We all figured that 2010 would be a kinder timefor the next generation, but not just yet.
