As our economy crisis continues, some industries managed to stay above water. One of which is our education system. Since the recession and massive layoffs have impacted us, more people have turned back the clock and gone back to school. They are taking this opportunity to get more educated and hopefully be able to get a better job once the job market improves. Follow the link below and read up. More people going back to business school also means more people will have to take the GMAT exam. What a striving business!!!

You can look at it this way. People are having trouble finding jobs, so instead of sitting home and accomplish little, they rather go back to school and hopefully an advance degree will pay off later when the market picks back up. But a point to consider, if you are on unemployment, you can't really go back to school and expect to continue to receive unemployment aid because you are supposed to be looking for a job while on unemployment.
