Notes: The base sample for the USR includes all individuals that attained a BA degree between 1973-1993 and are employed in a job 6 months following graduation. The base sample for the NSGD includes all individuals that attained a BA degree in 1980 and are employed in a job 6 months following graduation. Median age at the start of the degree is 19 for both nations. GPA is an average measure of the achievement in secondary school leaving exams out of 30 (but standardized by nation in all regressions). Honors is a measure of success at university standardized across nations taking descrete values from 0 (no honors) to 4 (highest honors). Occupational switch is defined as 1 if field of study at the undergraduate level is equivalent to the occupational field of first job 6 months following degree and 0 otherwise (see Data Appendix for further discussion of classification groups).

Dependent variables are defined as 1 if field of study at the undergraduate level is equivalent to the occupational field of job at 6 months, .2.5 years, 4.5 years, and 6.5 years following degree and 0 otherwise (according to the broad classification of fields - see Data Appendix). Omitted age category is "Age<21" and omitted honors cateogry is "No honors". Industry fixed effects included in all regressions. Sample only includes students that attained a first degree in 1980 and are employed within 6 months of completing their degree.

Notes: Huber-White standard errors. +, * and ** indicate significance at the 10%, 5% and 1% level respectively. Results are from ordered probit regressions. Dependent variables are ordered categorical variables that take on values from 1 ("Not at all") to 4 ("A lot"). SWITCH is defined as 1 if field of study is equivalent to the occupational field of first job 6 months following degree and 0 otherwise (according to the broad classification of fields - see Data Appendix). Omitted age group is "Age<21", omitted honors cateogry is "No honors". Industry fixed effects included in all regressions. Additional controls include log annual earnings in the first job after 6 months and subjective measures of how beneficial the qualification has been to securing a good income. Sample only includes students that attained a first degree in 1980 and are employed within 6 months of completing their degree.
