Be sure to forward this to any recent college grads you know: BusinessWeek has released its list of the top companies for those just entering the workforce. Apparently, accounting is a good business: The top 3 companies on the list are accounting firms because of huge demand for the profession brought on, at least in part, by Sarbanes-Oxley. In some bizarre way, hirers at the firms say the scandals at companies like Enron and WorldCom made accounting sexy for the first time ever.
Companies looking to recruit talent from YouTube/Myspace generation are demonstrating an increasing willingness to cater to that demographic: They make YouTube videos, set up message boards, and encourage prospective employees to Facebook current ones to learn more about the company.
If you're a recent grad, you may want to pick up a copy of the latest issue of BusinessWeek. In addition to the rankings, there are numerous articles on the job market for new hires.
And if you're feeling civic-minded, check out Teach For America, which landed at number 10 on the list.

Hi,
Well, that's good news for grads, but accountants will leave things until the damage happens, that's when they come in and say: "We saw it coming".
What's the essence of Executive Education if in the end they legalise breach of corporate ethics??
