    If you are employed in a junior job within the field you have been trained in, you are not underemployed.

    What this graph shows however, is that there are a ton of degrees that seem to teach hardly any transferable skills. A sociologist without proper statistical training has almost zero value in the business world. And that’s a problem.

      This graph absolutely does not show this lol…how could you possibly derive that from this graph

      And sociologists are absolutely trained in statistics

        Or maybe we just don’t need hundreds of thousands of people trained in liberal arts.

        I’m not trying to defend businesses here, but there’s only so many places for people who are trained in over-analyzing paint and clay.
