Tennessee job market

[pharmacy7424]

Hows it looking in Tennessee for a new grad 2014? Looking in the larger cities, nashville, memphis, etc. I heard they recently opened a lot of schools down there.

Don't they have 6 schools now? Jeez, Texas has 7 and will add an 8th pretty soon. Why does a state that small need that many schools?

The newer schools do not have the class sizes that UT has. I believe Lipscomb and Belmont have class sizes of 75 and Union has about 60. I know UT has well over 100 and I'm unsure about ETSU. Union, Belmont and Lipscomb are private schools so you'll see many students going there not planning on staying in Nashville to work since many come from out of state and want to get jobs back home.

From what I hear there are a lot of jobs in East Tennessee with an average job market pretty much everywhere else from what I hear.
