Related to @Illinoisparent12’s comment, occasionally I will see something about percentage employed in a field related to the major, or something like that. Even that can be gamed, though. What I really would like to know as a parent is, what percentage of students have full-time employment in a field requiring a college degree? And what percentage have full-time employment in a field related to their major that requires a college degree? Some majors, particularly those in the humanities, it’s not expected to be in a related field (i.e. philosophy). But it would be nice to know whether it’s a job that needed a college education, and whether it’s a permanent full-time job or just part-time/temporary.
If anyone finds schools or a data source with the information I’d like, please let me know. If not, follow @Illinoisparent12’s caveat.
