Marco Correa just graduated from Fresno State with a criminology degree. He said, "I don't agree, I think I.C.E. does an important job as far as securing the country."
Correa believes I.C.E. and the Border Patrol are just doing their job. The recent grad scoured the booths of all 66 federal agencies at the job fair hoping to find a good fit and a possible career. He said, "Long-term, a retirement plan, things like that the Federal Government offers things like that and it's definitely more secure."
A lot of students are nervous about entering the volatile job market where it seems more people are getting laid off than hired. But Roberto Gonzalez, who organized the job fair, says it's a great time to explore options with the feds because 40% of government workers are expected to retire next year. He said, "There's going to be a lot of opportunities for students who are willing to be mobile and enter as entry level jobs and then move up the ladder real fast."
