&lt;p&gt;The job outlook for the MBA class of 2010 is much changed since the students applied to schools in 2007 and 2008.  The major industries--finance and consulting--are not hiring in the same numbers, and many students are being forced to expand their job search to industries they weren&#39;t considering before.  For some, this is a good thing--cutting out the years spent in the corporate world for a high salary, allowing them to go directly to their dream second career.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to an article in this weekend&#39;s &lt;i&gt;New York Times&lt;/i&gt;, an increasingly popular second career for bankers, consultants and other MBA-holders is wine making.  From the NYT, there is a &quot;recent wave of M.B.A.’s [sic], bankers, architects, engineers and others who are taking over or starting wineries and infusing small boutique labels with a level of business expertise usually found only at big brands.&quot;  These nontraditional wine-makers are using their business acumen in an industry where small vineyards have tiny staffs and the owner often does everything himself--from growing the grapes to designing the bottle labels and selling the product to restaurants, resellers and individual drinkers.  The business background of the new crop of owners is &quot;showing up in winery technology and designs, techniques used to grow grapes, locations that break with tradition and, most of all, a greater emphasis on business plans, spreadsheets and new marketing approaches,&quot; says the NYT.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So if you&#39;ve always dreamed of running your own vineyard, now&#39;s the time!  It&#39;s unlikely that these small vineyards will be at on-campus recruiting, so reaching out to potential employers may take a bit more legwork.  But it&#39;ll be worth it if you can make your dream career your first career.&lt;/p&gt;
