Yes, when I first looked at this data I tried my best to lump it into categories. (Was in an discussion about ROI on "free" college)
about 65% of grads are in what I would consider, employable categories. STEM, Healthcare, Business, applied sciences (production/manufacturing type stuff), there are more but I cant remember now
about 25% of grads in what I would consider, employable but less so. Things like psychology, social sciences, histories, social work degrees, etc
then 10% are in the liberal arts/basketweaving area
While I will be the first to admit that degree is not necessarily an accurate predictor of success. I still think it is fair to say that even in the age of abundant student loans, in general most students ARE trying to pursue jobs that will make them employable. Even if they are misguided in some way, or don't hit the mark.
