Where did all the non profits go?

That’s the question to be asking as a college student on today’s college campus. It seems that all of the companies and forms of business that are being pushed on the college campuses are all from the for profit sector. This can prove to be quite a problem for today’s generation of people that are graduating college and moving on to the work force. From personal experience, it seems that I have not really heard anything about the non profit sector while in school, and to drive the point home even more, almost all of the companies at career fairs are from the for profit sector. This means that college age students are not getting to see what this area of the work world is like. For some, they may not even know that it exists out there. Now not only does this hurt the students by limiting their chances for jobs, but it also hurts the non profits by not introducing new employees to them. By having the majority of colleges not introduce non profits to their students, it is creating a problem that is going to be huge in about ten to fifteen years. I urge the people of today to go out their and try and do something about it.
