In the past， people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic achievements and confident that their degree would help them to find a good job.

However， in the past four years the job market has changed greatly. This years college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets. For example， Ryan Stewart， a graduate of San Jose State University， got a degree in religious studies， but he has not got any job offers. He points out that many people already working are getting laid off and dont have jobs， so its even harder for new college graduates to find jobs.

Four years ago， the future looked bright for his class. There were many high-tech job opportunities， graduates received many job offers， and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as health insurance and paid vacations. However， “Times have changed. Its a new market” according to an officer of the university.

The officer says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations， they have had several short-time jobs， and they majored in fields that are still paying well， such as accounting or nursing.

Even teaching is not a safe profession now. Ryan Stewart wanted to be a teacher， but instead he will probably go back to school in order to become a college teacher. He thinks college teaching could be a good job even in a bad economy.

In conclusion， these days a college degree does not lead to a good job with a high salary. Some students can only hope that the value of their degree will increase in the future.
