A 2011 《欧博体育官网》 survey of employers shows employers prefer to hire Penn State graduates because employers said they are bright, well-rounded graduates who possess the competencies they are looking for.

Many families are worried whether they can afford to send their children to college and some are even questioning whether a college education is a worthwhile investment despite evidence that most good jobs in America are held by college graduates. College graduates also earn significantly more over a lifetime than high-school graduates and are less susceptible to losing their jobs during recessions. A college education is, therefore, one of the most important investments you will ever make.
