<p>I am wondering how BC job placement really is. From reading sources online and talking to people who have graduated, it seems like a large number had trouble getting jobs, or at least really good ones considering the high cost of the school. I’ve also read people saying that the school gets its reputation from its football team and isn’t that impressive to employers. I am interested in working on the west coast as well, so I’m wondering if transferring would be my best bet.</p>
<p>If BC were to get its reputation from its football team, that would suck.</p>
<p>^ PREACH! </p>
<p>I sure hope BC doesn’t get its rep from the football team. That would be bad.</p>
<p>Like… I’m shocked at how stupid some of these questions are and how most of them even lack some basic research or even a quick google. Kid, our football coach got fired because he sucked, out athletic director was pretty much forced into retirement, and our football team only won one major BCS game all of last season, losing 10 games. What on earth are you talking about?</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Are there graduates from all colleges who have trouble getting employed?
Are there some majors that are tougher than others to land jobs?<br>
Did we just have several brutal years of a recession where job placement suffered at all colleges?</p>
<p>BC has remained quite strong throughout all of the above, with an incredibly solid alumni network.</p>

<p>Like all highly ranked colleges, graduates in the vocational fields (engineering, business, education, nursing) end up with (several) job opportunities, while liberal arts majors need to hustle a bit. That is also true at HYPS. This economy, while slowly improving, still sucks for 22 year-olds.</p>
<p>what i meant was that the football games are televised and it makes the school more well-known. look at all that information you knew about the football team…</p>
<p>I knew that information because I’m a student at Boston College and “all that information” was only three facts. We had one game televised on ESPN2, and the rest were mostly on radio or maybe New England cable network. None on ABC, CBS, like the big time schools. You sir, are an idiot.</p>
