Georgetown University research shows that a third of all jobs don’t require a college degree. Well, the other two-thirds of jobs do.

that some of the common advice given to graduates is pretty bad, so I hope to provide better advice for all of you in this short column. Take it from a college professor who has been teaching classes in higher education since Clinton was in his first term in office.

In addition, I’ve seen people claim that you can get a six-figure salary as a carpenter, or some similar job. That’s for if you are among those fixing the finer points of the Notre Dame Cathedral. I’ve had folks with welder degrees not working in welding and tell me they were told they could make huge sums doing so. I’m sure some welders make more than I do, but do your research on actual data, not on fanciful tales.

Your college can be a “found family,” too. Chances are, if you’re pretty open-minded, you’ll make a lot of lifelong friends. Find a college and major with professors who have a reputation for going the extra mile to help you with your career. They definitely do exist.
