More members of the class of 1984--about 60 percent--will move directly into a job after graduation than in any other class in the past quarter century, according to estimates by Harvard's Office of Career Services and Off-Campus Learning (OCS-OCL). One-third of the class of 1974 and only one-tenth of the class of 1959--the first year of the OCS-OCL survey--expressed such plans upon graduation...
Hurwitz got his job through the Association Atlantique, a program run by OCS-OCL which finds jobs in France for about 20 undergraduates each year. But other students choose to go it alone--some prearranging a job through parents or Harvard contacts, some simply taking off for Europe with work permit in hand...

No one has apparently tried to gauge the implications of this tread. OCS-OCL has expanded and enhanced its services in response to the growing impulse for immediate employment, but this alone is insufficient--it is a salve, not a cure. The College now does a better job of plugging seniors into set slots; it has not yet examined whether shaping freshmen, sophomores, and juniors differently...
