Which I also understand It might be mostly true, but is it actually true that college graduates can get all the jobs of non-college graduates? Simple example, I have a lot of education under my belt, but no one would hire me to be a car mechanic, nor should they. I would have to get some other technical, but not college, education to even start that job and being this old seems like a disadvantage. I suppose you could say "college + other technical school training" has all the same access, but isn't the question about whether it would be more useful for some to get some other non-college education as an alternative, not a rejection of managing to do both? Sorry I haven't really be following the thread well, but I was curious about this statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish they made the chart so you could see minor axis lines every 5-10k, and a few other bits of relevant information like # of respondents for each major and total number of graduates in that time frame. If I was at work I'd consider doing it but I'm not so I won't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
