The Class of 1984: Early Careers of Graduates from the Sixteen Campuses of the University of North Carolina.
North Carolina Univ., Chapel Hill.
Descriptive data on the employment, socioeconomic backgrounds, educational aspirations, and college evaluations of 1984 baccalaureate graduates of the University of North Carolina (UNC) are presented for about 1 year after graduation. Graduates' characteristics are reported, including race, sex, parents' educational level, and income. Also covered are financial aid and indebtedness, major field of study, satisfaction with various aspects of their education, graduates' current activities, employed graduates' earnings, location of employment, and occupation and job satisfaction. For the 5% of the 1984 graduates who were unemployed at the time of the survey, reasons for their current joblessness are identified. For the 13% of the graduates continuing their education, information is provided on: program of study, location of institutions, source of income for financing education, undergraduate preparation, and anticipated employment. Finally, comparisons of data from 1974, 1979, and 1984 surveys are presented, along with a discussion of trends of UNC graduates over 10 years. Policy implications and suggestions for future research are also included, along with the questionnaire. (SW)
