<p>After looking at the PDF, I am of the humble opinion that roughly 25% of alumni are what some would call “under-employed,” while the other 75% most likely succeeded due to graduate and professional education. The general rate for BA/BS “under-employment” seems to approach 50% especially in some majors. </p>
<p>The list of books contains about 100 titles read over what I would estimate to be about 144 weeks. This is a rate comparable to my high school book reading class, except that the college books are on average more esoteric and with more rigor in the analyses. However, during that quarter in high school I was also taking two sciences, one math, social studies and music.</p>
<p>I do suspect that the approach of a reading list and no specific major is valuable, at least in higher-tier colleges.</p>
