College survey: Accounting grads have best shot at job offer

National Association of Colleges and Employers? sixth annual student survey shows that graduating accounting majors have the highest percentage of job offers, followed by those studying engineering and computer science.

The survey found that 68 percent of the most recent accounting majors received job offers.

The report is based on reponses from nearly 16,000 bachelor?s degree level seniors. Among the findings for the class of 2012:

About two-thirds expect to go right into the workforce after graduating, and about one-third plan to go to graduate school.

Graduating seniors said they preferred work with meaning and cited ?government? as their industry of choice, followed by human services and education.

They also want employers that offer opportunity for personal growth, job security and friendly co-workers.

The most important benefits are annual salary increases, 401(k) matches and tuition reimbursement. Prior surveys always listed medical insurance as the most sought benefit, but this fell to fourth on the list, possibly because the Affordable Care Act now allows adults to stay on parents? insurance plans until age 26.
