A College Degree: Still the Best Way to Avoid Unemployment

Hey, this article will make you feel a bit better about pursuing your degree and working till 4 a.m. on that project tonight, only to be facing an uncertain job market with certain student loans when you graduate! Written by Tony Moton of Yahoo Education, the article, entitled, "Want To Avoid Unemployment?: Statistics show a clear link between education level and employment," makes an especially good case for business degrees, even at a time when studying business is a bit out of fashion.

The Best Way to Avoid Unemployment - Yahoo! Education

So hang in there, get that paper written and drink a Full Throttle with a 5-hour Energy chaser to make that commute to your 8 a.m. class (just please be careful driving!).

Career Opportunity at JP Morgan Chase for Someone with a Background in Reverse Auctions

Image via Wikipedia

Say, here's a job opportunity that looks like the "perfect fit" for that "special someone" who is looking for a new opportunity and who has a strong background in reverse auctions. It caught my attention because it is with JP Morgan Chase (not a small outfit!), and so I'm posting it as a favor to those sourcing professionals who follow this blog for reverse auction info as this might be the job for you. View the complete details at the link below (and do tell Sourcing Associates that you found the job posting here!):

This is a new avenue for us here, but I'd be interested in developing the Reverse Auction Research Center: http://reverseauctionresearch.blogspot.com/ as a jobs forum for e-procurement professionals. If you are an employer looking for that "special someone" or looking for a new opportunity yourself, do contact us here.

Good luck!
