Business grads flock to tech

Nowadays, increasing elite business-school graduates head to work in technology over finance due to the financial crisis. the data shows that at Harvard Business School, just 27% graduates took jobs in finance this year, decreasing 8% compared with last year. The financial crisis affected it a lot so the salary of financial job sharply decreased. At the same time, Wall Street has offered fewer opportunities for ambitious young graduates. Moreover, many business school graduates seek for meaningful work. They thought that jobs give them opportunities to drive innovation, and have the most impact.

How could this happen? As we all know, business work are busy and tired, but it has rich reward. So even though people may not have time to have a dinner, they choose business work and work pretty hard mainly because of the high salary. However, with the financial crisis, the salaries seems not to be as attractive as before. In my opinion, this situation would not last long, the financial sector will be popular again when the effect of financial crisis disappear.
