SYRACUSE -- Depending on which expert you talk to, the job outlook for the Class of 2012 is mixed.
Reports indicate it might be the worst outlook in a decade, while other experts say it's actually a decent outlook for graduates, similar to last year.
But the Class of 2012 is unique.
Graduates stepped on campus months before the worst financial collapse since the Great Depression. Since that time, Syracuse University has been preparing them for what they'll face once they leave campus.
“I’m really nervous and it's going to be a struggle,” said SU grad Nicole Grabert. “But I'm excited.”
“It's going to be tough but I'm optimistic. We got a great education,” said SU grad Jordan Josephs.
While some graduates have jobs lined up, many of their classmates are desperately searching for one of their own.
Experts said the northeastern and southeastern parts of the United States are likely to hire the most college grads.
The top three fields for students with a bachelor’s degree, experts say, are business, engineering and computer science.
