"Thank you for DogStarNYC, in general. The site speaks to so many kinds of interests; it discerns which qualities will appeal to many different tastes in a tremendous number of activities. I love how it encourages young people to pay attention to the unusual.

In New York we let so many teens walk around the periphery, mildly shell-shocked by life, while the information that they need to make sense of their world sits in the center of the room. DogStarNYC welcomes them into the middle of the room; the blog tells them how to walk there." - Stacy L.

College Majors & Unemployment

Dog Star says this is important to think about! BusinessInsider.com just released a infograph breaking down unemployment by college major and the results may shock you.  According to the chart, Architecture has the highest unemployment rate with it being 13.9% among recent college grads. The closest to that is 11.1% for students who graduated with Art degrees. The major with the lowest unemployment rate is Health, coming in at 5.4%. Makes sense when you think about it. Nobody can afford to build buildings in this economy and people are always going to get sick. The makers of the chart also insist that if you want the best shot at financial security that you should consider majoring in engineering. While the unemployment rate hovers at 7.5%, people fortunate enough to land a job in the field earn more than any other field studied for the chart. If you want to see where your intended major lands, click the graph below.
