The New School: how a poor job market is affecting how business schools

Many fresh graduates think that getting the master’s degree immediately after graduating is much better than looking for a job. Is it a good step that all students should take after graduating? Or students should change their way of thinking toward their future career?

According to the article “The New School: how a poor job market is affecting how business schools”, employers said that students who are thinking of attaining their M.B.A straight after graduating are doing a big mistake. Most of the students think that a second degree like M.B.A would be a resume enhancer, but students should learn more about the business field that they are interested in. Employers in these days are looking for fresh graduates who have the ability to perform well and play an important role in their jobs, or they would be interested in students who go to a top business school aiming to get a Masters degree in order to specialize in one of the business fields that requires a Masters degree and not just because they are not finding a good job.

To satisfy many students, many business schools should change and enhance their programs in order to better prepare fresh graduates for the competitive work environment they are going to face. Also, business schools should always be able to meet the changing needs of employers. Business schools should be valuable by making students ready to add a value for the firm that they are going to work in and make them ready to face all the difficulties that the firm might face in the future. In addition, business schools should be well organized in order to choose the best students that have the best qualifications to be professional business people in the future.

Many communities are working to help students and fresh graduates in finding good jobs. The article mentioned the Fuqua community as an example. This community has organized many campaigns and has contracted with many company recruiters to provide students with good jobs and build good relationships that would help in the future.

Students should always think carefully about their future career before taking any serious step. A high percentage of the employers encourage students to enter the business field and get experience as much as they can before thinking of getting M.B.A or any other Masters degree. The business field always need people who have the experience and the ability to add value to the firm and the customers.
