[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]VT publishes fairly comprehensive data about recent graduates. The link below is for the class of 2024. I think we can all agree that 2024 was a better environment for graduates than 2025, and 2026 will be worse than both previous years.

Pamplin College of Business rate of full time employment: 53.8%

Mean starting salary: $73,295

Median starting salary: $70,000

I would have guessed a higher full time employment rate and starting salaries. I wonder how many hours these young adults work to make $70,000? They should really dig into the math concerning time away from home.

Hiring has already slowed, and will continue to do so. Layoffs will increase and expand across the private sector. Public companies care about shareholders more than employees.

Suddenly hiring bonuses, overtime, pensions, tax credits and student loan forgiveness in the law enforcement space looks really attractive.[/quote]

The salaries are just base, not with bonuses.

This is the list of top employers. The ceiling at these places is much higher than most of law enforcement.

Are there bonuses available to the 46.2% that aren’t employed full time?[/quote]

If you actually dig into the numbers, it’s only 12% that were still looking for work six months out. The 46.2% number includes a big chunk of non-respondents, as well as those getting further degrees. But you can see the numbers in detail and of the actual respondents the number still looking for work was 12%. So sure, maybe they can go become police officers if they are still looking at this point.[/quote]

You forgot the part timers.[/quote]

? People working part time is almost zero.[/quote]
