The time is near for the class of 1997 to make the big leap out of the safe haven of the University and into the real world, but while some students will continue to pursue a graduate degree, a large group of the senior class will enter the job market. So far, the news looks good. According to a study conducted by the career planning office at Michigan State University, there's an increase of 4.7 percent in the number of jobs available from last year. With the assistance of high rankings from U.S. News and World Report, it is safe to say business school students are in high demand. LSA senior Robert Hunt said he's stressed about finding a job even though it still seems a long way off.
