Clemson graduates find jobs at twice the national average!
CLEMSON — Clemson University graduates are finding jobs at nearly twice the national average of college graduates, and nearly half of them are staying in South Carolina, according to a survey.
Thirty-four percent, or 1,382, of 4,119 graduates responded to a survey between December 2009 and June 2010.
Twenty-five percent of respondents said they had accepted full-time jobs, nearly double the 13 percent national average reported by the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Another 28 percent said they plan to attend graduate school. Additionally, half of those who accepted jobs are staying in South Carolina, and more than 60 percent of them will stay in the Upstate.
The average salary range the Clemson graduates reported was $45,000 to $49,000, with College of Engineering and Science graduates reporting the highest salaries ($61,360.91). The College of Agriculture, Foresty and Life Sciences reported the highest percentage of graduates — nearly half — who were planning to pursue an advanced degree.
