Prompt 6: Evaluating Sources

I read an article about the Oklahoma State University Spears school of business, and it's relation to being able to find jobs in the field of business.  This article was written in 2011, in the time of our recession, so the article was detailing how unemployment and it's benefits were continuing to persist and rise.  Despite the recession, over half of all available jobs fell into the category of business, and according to the article, the field of business as a whole witnessed a 6.2% increase in salary.  It was detailed that the demand for jobs is nearly matched by the amount of available jobs in the workforce.  The Spears school of business efficiently and readily prepares students for the workforce, and assists them in finding jobs.

Through our own personal findings and discovery's throughout the duration of the blog project, I can personally support the article's points.  The Eli Broad college of business is very similar to that of the Spears college of business.  They both do a fantastic job of setting up students with opportunities in the business field.  Not even looking at specific programs, we have found that the entire field of business as a whole is so wide and expansive, there are so many different directions you can go in career wise, and there are absolutely no shortage of opportunities, no matter which direction you decide to go in.  As the years go on, business grads are able to find more and more opportunities.  This is a major finding that we have seen consistently in exploring our field, which is why I support the findings of the article.
