University Graduate Career Surveys

Some universities survey their graduates to see what they ended up doing shortly after graduation -- employed (and how much they are being paid if employed), still looking for a job, going to graduate school, or "other" (some only show pay of employed graduates). The most useful surveys break down the results by major.
Methodology does differ somewhat, so be careful about making comparisons across universities.
