[quote=harvey][quote=flyer]Shockingly, only about 20% of new college grads are getting the jobs they want, where they want them, and the BLS predicts that will not change much in the future.[/quote]
Why is that shocking?
What should the number be?
Personally, I’m not surprised by that vague statistic. Four of five people don’t receive fulfilling careers immediately after obtaining an undergraduate degree? Sounds like real life.[/quote]
Reminds me of the joke about the school where every kid in the school is “above average” compared to their peers int he same school!
But I think the shocking part is the expectations that grads and their parents have after they have been ‘sold’ on the school.
