I'm a recent graduate from a very expensive university, and my friends and I all have significant debt (it seems, with tuition skyrocketing nationwide, that this must be a trend). One friend graduated with a degree in biomedical engineering, and now works as a saleswoman, hawking medical devices for much higher pay than an entry-level engineer. Another has a degree in biology, and earns minimum wage giving talks at Monterey Bay Aquarium. For young people, there isn't a promise of big bucks at the end of the bachelor of science, and this doesn't sit well for the generation that was brought up with more luxury than their parents had known. As far as I know, business schools are having no problem attracting bodies. Maybe the salaries just aren’t high enough.
