College Graduation

Newly-minted MBA graduates are more frequently turning away from finance jobs as financial crisis aftereffects linger and instead picking careers in the tech sector.

In fact, for the first time, more Stanford Graduate School of Business grads this year chose tech jobs over finance jobs, The Wall Street Journal reports. Thirty-two percent of this year's class picked tech while 26 percent headed into finance — those figures were 13 percent and 36 percent, respectively, two years ago.
