Happy Graduates

Wednesday May 21, 2008

The American Council on Education released a study on May 20 that surveyed college graduates, between the ages of 25 and 39, about their college experiences. Some encouraging highlights:

  • 50% said they still use the skills they gained in college "very often"
  • 71% thought the price they paid at their college/university was fair
  • 84% felt prepared after graduation
  • 92% thought their degree/education was worth the time and money it cost

These are some fantastic stats for those of you graduating this semester!
