And these are the lucky ones. Only 56% of four-year college grads even held a job.
These results makes a Wisconsin technical college education look quite attractive.
The Wisconsin Technical College System’s Graduate Follow-up Report indicates that 88 percent of 2009- 2010 technical college graduates were employed within six months of graduation, 71% in fields related to their field of study.
The median starting salary for all technical college grads was also higher than salaries earned by four-year college grads at $31, 198.
Associate Degree | $35,676 |
Two-Year Technical Diploma | $31,198 |
One-Year Technical Diploma | $29,118 |
Short-Term Technical Diploma | $24,568 |
And, of course, technical college students graduate with significantly less debt than their four-year counterparts.
