Although every parent’s wish is for their child to study at university, doesn’t always guarantee a good job and even less good salary in the future. In fact, according to studies, the average salaries of those who left the province’s campuses were almost 100% subject to changeSo it could be almost twice as much.
This is clearly seen in recent research. Placement of University Graduates in the Workforce This is carried out by the Ministry of Universities, which analyzes the situation of graduates four years after completing their education, based on Social Security data. For example, data that allows us to know how many are working after that period and how many are still unemployed; If they work in a profession that requires qualifications, that is, if they work in the field they studied, or how much money do they offer.
In general terms, the results show that there are graduates from both the University of Alicante and the Miguel Hernández University. They earn wages below the national average, because, according to the analysis of this study conducted by Ineca, as published in this newspaper, the productive fabric of the province is less prone to creating qualified employment. Specifically, the average income of UA graduates is 26,123 euros, that of UMH is 27,595, while for the national group the figure is 29,559.
Detailed data now available from Government statistics highlights the significant differences that exist within the state itself. Scope of completed work. In this way, medical graduates are the group that receives the highest salary as soon as they finish their education, and their contribution base is as follows: 39,422 euros per year. Left behind are nursing graduates earning average salaries four years after leaving college. 32,129 eurosaccording to this study.
Third place is for those who have received education. Computingwith 31,636 euros per year; followed by mathematicians and statisticians, who earn an average of 29,840 euros; and those who have received anything engineeringIt quotes prices of 28,426 euros for graduates from UA and 28,576 euros for UMH (the study does not break down by individual careers, but rather groups them by functional areas, so it does not allow to differentiate between the different types of engineering offered by each university).
Those training to become teachers are also above average. Primary education (28,086 Euro) or have obtained a relevant degree architectural (27,822 Euros).
lower paid
On the other hand, those with the worst income levels after these four years are those who graduated from a job-related career. sportsbarely quotable 20,186 euros; and their TourismAccording to ministry data, only 20,868 euros per year. That’s almost half the size of a doctor. Graduates in education are also below average. humanitiesWith 22,921 Euros; those in the region Journalism and InformationWith 22,348 Euros; of these Life Sciences23,148 euros in UA and 23,973 euros in GNA; Physicists, chemists and geologists, 23,430 people; and even Business and Management (25,023 euros at UA and 24,700 euros at UMH).
As the director of Ineca Studies noted, Francisco LlopisThese differences are explained as follows: “law of supply and demand number of available candidates with the education required by the labor market” as well as “value added” that each of these professionals can contribute.
So one of the keys to these results is Percentage of graduates who start working in a skilled job. “In the long run, the majority of university students find employment, but There are careers where the percentage of people working in the field they studied is very low“The director of Randstad Research says for his part: Valentin Bote.
For example 100% of those studying medicine They contributed to the group of Social Security graduates among those who completed their social security-related careers in the province after four years. only 18.9% did so in tourism or hospitalitythis means The majority of the latter were working in a job for which they were overqualified. A similar situation occurs among sports graduates, only 32.8% of them work or work in a job that requires a university degree. humanitiesThey are 38.46%.
In this context, Bote is in favor of universities ending their reluctance and expanding the places they offer in the careers most in demand by companies. He also recommends that future students consider the skills they actually have, as well as the profession, and the job opportunities each career opens when choosing their studies.
