The first job your students take after graduation can impact the rest of their career, both for better or for worse.
Reported by CNBC, a report by the Strada Institute for the Future of Work reports that more than 40% of college graduates take positions immediately out of school that don’t require a degree. And starting here means that 10 years later, these graduates end up earning $10,000 a year less than their peers.
