Abstract
Surveys of recent baccalaureate degree recipients confirmed earlier findings that, compared with
other alumni, psychology baccalaureates ranked low on ratings of the relatedness of their current
job to the major. Psychology baccalaureates also rated low on whether their education had
prepared them for that job and enhanced their future prospects. Correlations across all majors
suggested that employment relatedness predicted judgments of preparedness, and
preparedness predicted future prospects. Comparable correlations for psychology majors
suggested that they entered the job market with expectations similar to graduates of more
occupationally oriented programs. We offer specific recommendations to prepare students for
more satisfying outcomes in the postbaccalaureate job market.
