Re: Value of the College Degree

George Leef

That figure of 85 percent agreeing that their education adequately prepared them for their job certainly doesn't mean much, since many jobs don't require anything in the way of serious academic study. For a lot of jobs, the students had adequate knowledge when they left high school. It would be interesting to find out more about the 15 percent answering in the negative. For what sorts of employment was their college education inadequate?
