Marc Frenette and Tomasz Handler have published an analysis of the most prevalent jobs attained by young master’s degree graduates by their field of study. Frenette and Handler drew on the 2021 Census to identify the most prevalent jobs held by master’s degree graduates between 25 and 34 years old. Graduates of some programs—most commonly those in the health, law, and engineering fields—were highly concentrated in specific roles. However, graduates from most master’s programs were dispersed across a wide range of occupations. The authors conclude that these findings may help prospective students understand the potential starting points in the career paths at the end of master’s degree in a particular field.
