Economic Slowdown Impacts Business School Students

The Wall Street Journal published an interesting piece today that examines the impact the global credit crunch has had on business school students and campuses around the world.

According to some faculty and school administrators, job recruiting is still going strong in every industry except the banking industry. Applications are also up in European schools, as more working finance professionals try to enhance their resume with an advanced degree.

The largest change can be seen in classrooms and cafeteria's, where business school students and their professors are working together to study the most recent economic woes. If you want to get in on the debate and learn a few valuable finance lessons in the process, I suggest you take advantage of the situation as well. The students who can learn about this crisis today are the professionals who will be sorting out all of the problems it creates tomorrow.
