Job prospects for college grads show mixed outlook
A 1978 report by the State 1202 Commission, in Austin, finds that students with one to three years of college have the best job chances, with 41 000 annual graduates and 51 000 to 55 000 openings. Vocational training yields 20 000 graduates and 26 000 to 28 000 openings. Master’s and doctoral holders still have openings, but baccalaureate prospects are gloomy, though math, computer science, engineering and health fields offer better odds.
