students are like ducks: calm and happy on the surface, but paddling like hell under the water to stay afloat. The so-called "Stanford duck syndrome" embodies the culture at this Palo Alto, California, campus. With beautiful weather and pristine landscaping saturated by palm trees, Stanford looks more like a country club than one of the world's premier research institutions.
And though the ducks have rigorous course loads, they live in paradise, which explains why Stanford students are consistently ranked among the happiest in the nation by the Princeton Review. In past years, seniors might have floated peacefully to the shore of employment — the only 'A' they needed on their resume was the one that helped spell "Stanford." (See 10 ways your job has changed.)
But this year, with the recession hammering away at the job market, the shore seems farther away. Time is running out until graduation on June 14, and the ducks, now anxiously flapping, are struggling to figure out their lives — and their livelihoods.
Well-qualified students who would normally have dozens of offers are now faced with as many rejections. One such senior majoring in economics applied to every relevant job through Stanford's Career Development Center. After over 200 applications and some 55 in-person interviews, she was rewarded for her efforts — with only one offer.
Count her among the fortunate. Great jobs still exist, but they have become few and far between. According to Lance Choy from Stanford's Career Development Center, there were 30% fewer jobs posted this year, and fewer companies are coming to Stanford for presentations and job fairs. (See pictures of cubicle designs submitted to The Office.)
All of which means that students have to be more creative about job searches — or delay the inevitable day. To that end, many are opting to stay in school. Ashwin Mudaliar, a senior spending a fifth year at Stanford to complete a Master of Science degree in Biology, noted, "Of the 25 seniors in my fraternity, only two are entering the work force directly. The others are planning on attending graduate or professional school." Nearly 40% of the graduating seniors, from engineers to lit majors, will remain at Stanford to attend graduate school. Overall, Stanford has seen a 5% increase in graduate applications for next year's enrollment.
Those with an eye for business, meanwhile, are choosing a more entrepreneurial tack. With fewer investment banking and consulting jobs at the larger, well-known firms, more of these students are instead opting to work at start-ups and smaller, boutique firms. Still others are hoping to carve out their own niche by starting their own companies.
Fortunately, Stanford's conjugal connection to Silicon Valley gives its students the resources to succeed in their technology ventures. The Stanford Computer Science department even offers a popular course called "iPhone Application Programming." Many students have already taken their class projects and rolled them out as commercially available applications. The fall class of 50 students produced eight successful iPhone apps; the spring class is 20% larger, though it's too early to say how they'll fare commercially.
Seniors Edward Marks, a double mathematics and economics major, and James Anthony, a Physics major, enrolled in the course last year, recognizing the opportunity. They formed a company in January called Inedible Software, and they have already generated profits from a popular shotgun simulation application. Marks had originally intended to pursue a career in finance at a hedge fund, but the recession limited his options: "When I realized I was applying to jobs I didn't want, I decided to stop and just become an entrepreneur." For the sake of student innovation, maybe this recession isn't such a bad thing.

Obama signed the bill despite a controversial clause inserted in the legislation by allies of the gun lobby group National Rifle Association.
The language permits gun owners to carry concealed weapons in national parks, a rule which gun control advocates complain threatens public safety.

It forbids rate increases on existing balances unless consumers are at least 60 days late paying their bill or the initial rate was a promotional rate that has expired, and requires 45 days' notice to raise rates.
The measure bans fees for payment processing -- such as surcharges for paying by telephone; imposes steep restrictions on issuing cards to people under 21 years of age, and requires that promotional interest rates on new cards stay valid for six months.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - - President Barack Obama Friday signed sweeping credit card reforms into law, aiming to shield consumers from predatory fees and shock rate hikes, despite complaints from the industry.
"Credit card debt is easily a one-way street," Obama said, as he signed the legislation at a ceremony in the White House Rose Garden.
"It is easy to get in, but almost impossible to get out," Obama said, decrying small print on credit card statements containing traps for unwary borrowers.
The White House's Democratic allies have cast the legislation as a central piece of their effort to re-write the rules of the US economy to help consumers battered by the global financial meltdown.
It forbids rate increases on existing balances unless consumers are at least 60 days late paying their bill or the initial rate was a promotional rate that has expired, and requires 45 days' notice to raise rates.
The measure bans fees for payment processing -- such as surcharges for paying by telephone; imposes steep restrictions on issuing cards to people under 21 years of age, and requires that promotional interest rates on new cards stay valid for six months.
The credit card industry has argued the bill could result in a tightening of credit at a time when a credit crunch is already depressing spending amid an economic crisis.
Obama said that for some borrowers, credit cards become a temporary "crutch" which can turn into a long-term trap.
Other desperate borrowers he said, got into trouble by using their cards to bail them out when medical costs got too high, or they lost their jobs.
While condemning credit card companies for predatory practices, Obama however also said borrowers must be responsible in managing debt.
"I want to be clear about this. Credit card companies provide a valuable service. We don't begrudge them turning a profit, we just want to make sure that they do so while upholding basic standards of fairness, transparency and accountability."
Obama signed the bill despite a controversial clause inserted in the legislation by allies of the gun lobby group National Rifle Association.
The language permits gun owners to carry concealed weapons in national parks, a rule which gun control advocates complain threatens public safety.
"Passage of this legislation that would allow firearms of all kinds in national parks is an absolute travesty," said Bill Wade, Chairman, of the executive council of the Coalition of National Park Service Retirees:
"There is simply no need for it, given the extremely low risks that visitors face in national parks compared with everywhere else."
But proponents of the measure say it simply harmonizes gun rules between state parks and national parks.
"This step brings clarity and uniformity for law-abiding gun owners visiting our national parks and wildlife refuges," said Chris Cox, director of the National Rifle Association's lobbying arm, the Institute for Legislative Action.
"NRA will continue to pursue every avenue to defend the American people's right of self-defense."
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs sidestepped a question in his daily briefing over Obama's position on the legislation.
"Obviously it's not related to the credit card reforms, and I don't know individually how the president views the legislation, but thinks overall the credit card reform bill is important for consumers and should be signed."
