<p>I wasn’t thinking long term after graduation. It only makes sense to obtain outcome statistics of similalry situated students from that particular institution: types of jobs, starting salaries, how many pursued grad school, where they get admitted… Similarly, many grad schools provide data on appointments of their own graduates and which institutions they join after their PhDs. It certainly helps to get a feel for opportunities in a particular field before deciding to commit to it.</p>
