Walt Baker graduated from the Colorado School of Mines on Friday with a bachelor’s degree in petroleum engineering—but without an oil-industry job.

The rest is subscribe-protected, but you get the gist. I read the balance in a paper copy and it says this year's graduates are getting job offers rescinded. It goes on to say sophomores in the program are transferring to mechanical engineering. Hint: OSU has a pretty good mechanical engineering program.
