Employment Rate

<p>I'm trying to decide where I want to go in the Spring, UF or USF. I've heard story after story about how good UF is, but I saw something interesting in a ************** book at Barnes & Nobles. It said that only 36% of UF graduates are employed within in six months after graduation. The same book said at USF it was 71%. Is that true? Is it really that hard to find a job for UF graduates? I was a little shocked when I read that, I must admit.</p>

<p>That's has to be wrong. UF was ranked 13th overall for career services. The Career Resources Center at the Reitz Student Union is amazing.</p>

<p>Here is a link of interest. UF has the strongest career fairs in the state. Not even University of Miami can match us:</p>

<p>InsideUF</a> - Preparing for the fall Career Showcase</p>

<p>I'd be curious to see the percentage of UF students who go on to graduate school right away. That might be throwing off the statistic.</p>

<p>Per this link:
<a href="http://www.ir.ufl.edu/data/cds2007-08.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.ir.ufl.edu/data/cds2007-08.pdf&lt;/a>
Page 6 of 29 section B22.</p>

<p>36% had jobs right away.
22% were accepted into graduate or professional programs.</p>

<p>The USF CDS info link:<a href="http://usfweb2.usf.edu/infomart/cds/cds2007_2008.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://usfweb2.usf.edu/infomart/cds/cds2007_2008.pdf&lt;/a>
same section B22 page 5 of 32 had no information listed.</p>

<p>Highly suspect the info in that book you saw.</p>

<p>58% total isn't too bad for how big the CLAS is (heyooo).</p>

<p>I saw that same book. I think it's called College *******.</p>

<p>Woah, What's up with the asteriks?</p>

<p>In the CC world they consider that advertising for College P.....R</p>

<p>I can't figure out the word that was censored.... ? I never read or heard of the book so I have no idea.</p>

<p>I found this from the Common Data Set for 06/07:</p>

<p>Post-Graduation Activities of Graduating Seniors
Nearly three in five UF seniors have solid post-graduation plans - 36% have a definite job or are negotiating employment and 22% have been accepted into a graduate or professional degree program.
Only one in ten students say they do not have any plans to continue their education now or in the future. </p>

<p>It's at the bottom of Pg. 6 from this link:</p>
