The job market seems to be on the downturn, especially if you’re a young person.
College graduates are scrambling to get their hands on just about any kind of job — but there are still sectors that need professionals, and schools are listening. Today, we hear some hope from some fresh journalism graduates. Then we'll talk with a graduate of Lipscomb's Accelerated Nursing program to see how she’s holding up in the workforce, and we'll wrap the show learning how Nashville Software School is changing software engineering and addressing AI.
