You have Barnard, but not Columbia that makes a lot of sense!

Most Career Centers are not intended to "place" graduates in jobs - they are intended to teach students the skills that they need to move forward with their job search and careers. That includes facilitating connections with employers, but it does not involve "getting" someone a job. There are far too many factors involved, including individual's experience, the economy, geographic preferences, etc that play into a successful job search to expect any one office to have control over it. Individuals need to take ownership of their own job search.

Maybe not much longer now that the Obama Administration has decided to allow illegal immigrants with various educational and skill levels to apply for work visas rather than be sent back to their home countries.

Harvard and MIT are conspicuously absent from the top tier.
Obviously these two universities don't teach anyone to work
- they just teach superiority and being the boss.

Barber College.... I recommend it as I make more then my learned friends. I've even given free hair cuts degreed customers. Times are tough....

Those of you with higher education, I recommend you start you own business on the side, while your working for someone else. Escape the job game....

That will be used to pay off your loan and die.

Out of all the photos you could have chosen for the Rochester Institute Of Technology, you choose a photo of the astronomy class building almost off campus????

Galvanized steel is such a tasteless eye sore.
Makes one wonder what the rest of the campus looks like.

It's a land of red brick. The Brick City represented by our tiny observatory, saddening

This is a bit silly. I worked 20 hours a week at UF's Career Resource Center while I went to school there. Princeton Review must view incompetence and ignorance as positive factors.

Maybe you just haven't seen other career centers then?

Spelman College does not deserve to be on that list. Former student and friend of many former students still looking for work.

The vast majority of people go to college to obtain skills and knowledge to get a job. Is career services important? Yes.....duh. Students pay thousands of dollars to attend college, schools should always try and give their students a leg up over any competition when it comes to getting a job.

If you think "a job" is the prize after college, then you're wasting money on college.

If you don't get a job after college, your parents will be wasting their money.

If you are expecting your parents to pay for your education, then you failed the first test.

Yup. I can definitely afford tens of thousands of dollars on learning purely for self-actualization and making friends and developing a well-rounded world view. That sure is me.

Oh wait. I'm panicked about buying my books this term.

"...I'm panicked..."

A sign that you're in the wrong college.

Not sure how their career services stack up, but many NYU students are already working before they graduate by virtue of proximity to jobs
