50%...a lot just stayed at school for an extra year to get an MBA in hopes of the job market turning around next year.
probably only like 5%.... but a lot of kids took jobs they never thought they'd had to. Small time sales gig making 35k when they had good internships and another who is doing recruiting who had 3.6 at a target. I guess most of the ones I know that are underemployed are chicks. Hot girls who are working at hooters or as dancers or the like.
.
kids with science, CS and math degrees- 90% employed
kids with math and econ (a double major) degrees- 100% employed
Everythig else ~20% employed...most w/ americorps/peace corps.
Never major in something non-technical in a technical world, dogg.
Went to a non-target liberal arts school. Like 3000 kids total. Graduated in 2010.
I'd say I'm the only person in the business school graduating class who got the kind of job they were looking for. Everyone else is underemployed or unemployed to this day (over a year later).
Ironic, because I probably had the lowest GPA in the business school class as well. (2.3 cumulative gpa)
god bless networking
All of my friends are either employed or continuing their education in some way. My friends in the class of 2010 had a much harder time finding jobs, actually.
Top 100 LAC in the Midwest. ~1000 students
i went to upenn and i dont want to make this seem like another "liberal arts vs engineering" flame post, but the reality for my classmate circle is:
just looking at Facebook, about 60% of my liberal arts friends are unemployed and are currently living at home.
a FEW of my wharton friends went on to financial firms and the rest either went onto graduate programs in finance, econ, etc... and the rest after that are unemployed.
100% of my engineering friends are employed, and assuming they're telling the truth on FB, many at Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, IBM, Twitter, Youtube, Yelp, etc...

There is no way only a 'few' of your wharton friends (unless you only have a few wharton friends total) went on to financial firms...
That does seem odd. Their placement report suggests only a very small percentage go to grad school. http://www.vpul.upenn.edu/careerservices/undergrad/reports/WHA_2010cp.p…
Stop trolling. I have several friends who go there and was even accepted to the school, so I know it well enough to know that what you've said is just utter and absolute nonsense.
Your depth of analysis is not necessary. Look at the user name.
I find it hard to believe that there are very many wharton kids jobless, if any. I go to a lesser business school and roughly everyone found jobs, just most didn't get what they had hoped for. Especially considering unemployment+underemployment for our age group is roughly 20-25%. While that's a terrible number it shouldn't be anywhere near that high a place like Wharton.
