Graduation season is here! It’s pretty likely someone in your life is graduating from high school, college, or grad school this year. Graduating is a big accomplishment and students deserve some recognition for the hard work and dedication required for getting into that cap and gown. Here are some facts to study about college graduates to get you ready for the impending grad party season!
First of all, your graduate’s degree is quite an accomplishment. Only about 56% of first-time college students earn degrees within six years. Completion rates were highest among students who started at a four-year private, non-profit school, while the lowest completion rates were found from students who started at two-year public schools.
If your graduate has a business degree, they’re in the majority. Business is still the most common major with about one fifth of all students graduating with that degree. Business has been the most common major since the early 80’s; before that, education was the most popular.
Though the number of grads who think college was worth it has dropped somewhat from other generations. The reality is that having a bachelor’s degree still gives grads a better median salary than those who went to a two-year college or did not go to college. In fact, the salary gap between those earning more with a bachelor’s degree and those without one has increased over time.
