""These roles still exist, but the companies don't need as many people to do them," said Andy Chan, who runs the school's Office of Personal and Career Development."
""Hiring is essentially flat, so students are going to need to be thinking about option A, B, and C," said Matt Augeri, director of operations and strategic initiatives at the University of Iowa's career center."
