Attention College Students

Studying engineering, science, foreign affairs or nursing? Then the federal government wants you. Those occupations are considered "mission-critical," Office of Personnel Management officials said in connection with the first of four Federal Career Days, held at Louisiana State University. And actually, they noted, the government wants you no matter what you're studying. "Needs exist in every facet of the federal government," OPM Director Linda Springer said. "We need everyone to step forward and bring their talents and skills to the table."
