Are colleges teaching students to do what they’re best at?

World Affairs Council

Many college graduates have jobs that have nothing to do with their degree - and many are not happy with the jobs they do have.

These are just some of the findings of a recent survey done by "Gallup Education", a research arm of the Gallup polling service. Brandon Busteed is the Executive Director of Gallup Education. In this feature interview, he talks with News Director Sally Mauk about the need for helping students "find what they're best at".

 

Retired in 2014 but still a presence at MTPR, Sally Mauk is a University of Kansas graduate and former wilderness ranger who has reported on everything from the Legislature to forest fires.
