Thought this excerpt from a press release about 2008 Alumni profiles was interesting… http://apa.wisc.edu/Alumni/alumni_profiles.html
“Alumni Profiles answer some broad questions about where undergraduate alumni live, if they are employed or enrolled in educational programs, and how much they value their UW-Madison education. Alumni Profiles are available for schools and colleges and for undergraduate majors.”
Among UW-Madison alumni who graduated within the past 10 years: (a few highlights)
- 88% are employed full-time (81%) or part-time (7%). Nearly half of alumni have provided detailed employer and job title information
- 80% of those employed say that the skills they developed at UW-Madison in problem solving, written and verbal communication, and other general skills are related or highly related to their current position
- 59% of those employed say that their current position is related or highly related to the major of their UW-Madison degree
