If I were you I would look for another job.
Waiting till August for a job? That's some shady sh!t
In this economy I would be job hunting night and day. I don't think its shady but it is likely that the job won't be there in August. There is a whole class of grads coming behind you between now and then. The employer might find someone better or just fresher in their minds to hire. You have a five month lead on those other grads, don't blow it.
you guys are scaring me w/ this.... i have a signed offer document from them...you're saying they might just decide to forget it?
Yes.

Dear Mr. Vshah,
Due to the unprecedented downturn in the economy, we regret to inform you that we must withdraw the offer of employment we made to you in December, 2008. We wish you well in all your future endeavors.
Sincerely,
Personnel Director,
Chapter11isus Corporation

Here's how it works in declining economy: An onboard employee (assuming they are good)
is an asset that a manager is willing to defend. A future hire is a looming budget liability a manager is willing to sacrifice in order to protect the onboard folks from layoffs.
welcome to the real world.
effing lame...i had an offer that started in January, my dad convinced me to take this one b/c its a much better company...
