Woo! Class of 2008!!

Since tomorrow morning is the official graduation ceremony for DePaul's class of 2008, I thought I would post something triumphant and hopeful for me and my fellow grads to enjoy.  At the Talentworks blog at AdAge recently, Beth Ann Kaminkow wrote on the subject of hiring entry level employees from the class of 2008.  So, in her estimation, where will we fit in?

Well, according to Kaminkow, 

The Class of 2008 already knows a lot of things the current work force is still trying to figure out. They've lived in an online and offline world that makes them comfortable bringing new thinking to agencies that are working to bring their clients' brands closer to consumers. They "get" the idea of convergence -- in media, in technology and in the way people live -- because that's how they live. So we need to be willing to learn, as well as teach and mentor.

Sounds pretty good, no? Sort of takes one's mind off the fact that we're entering the job market in a recessed economy with an ever-weakening dollar.
