CATCH-85. Highered Intelligence offers observations on the difficulties college graduates are currently having on the job market. More to it than the recession and the extraction of more effort from existing workforces. (Shouldn't come as any surprise, though, that if a 4 year degree now has the information content a high school diploma used to -- within my lifetime -- have, then the job opportunities offered to college graduates might appear to be less satisfying. You've also got to spell out what "satisfying" is about. Writing research papers is usually satisfying, as are office-hour conferences. Committee meetings, even during contract time, are not.)
