@seeJimmyP@Rasmussen_Poll On the first job/field of study, it's a great question. There is some data out there but it's a bit tricky to interpret because businesses hire liberal arts majors for all sorts of jobs that don't appear correlated (eg business hiring a psychology graduate for a marketing job)
@seeJimmyP@Rasmussen_Poll Yeah, the narrative around college (unemployable with worthless degrees!) just doesn't track the actual data. Unemployment is low and lifetime earnings are really high (see, e.g., https://t.co/m95SvMQa82) ~$1 million lifetime earnings premium for college over high school
