Study Finds Over Half of College Graduates Working in Jobs That Don't Require a Bachelor's Degree

A significant portion of college graduates in the US end up in jobs that don't require a degree or make use of their acquired skills, with potential long-term impacts on their careers. This underscores a widespread questioning of the value of a college education, with many employers even omitting the necessity of a degree. Choices such as major and relevant experience through internships are key factors in determining post-graduation job prospects, as well as reducing the risk of underemployment by almost 50%. It's also essential to work within the desired field to increase the likelihood of securing a well-paid position and avoiding long-term underemployment.
