There is a very interesting article in the Professional Geographer, vol.
47, no. 3, August 1995.  It is a three part article that deals with
employment prospects for geography graduates, both in academia and the
corporate world.  I found it fascinating reading, for soon I will be in the
same position that your students are currently in.  I believe this article
should be required reading for anyone planning on making a career in
geography.
 
Part 1 of the article deals with Enrollment and Degree Patterns.  Part 2
deals with Current Employment Conditions, and Part 3 deals with Future
Employment Conditions.  I won't bother to summarize the three parts, as
they really should be read in their entirety.  Good luck to you and your
grads.
