Entry: How much is your college degree worth these days? Feb 6, 2004



How much is your college degree worth these days?

(Answer: Worth more than it was last year if you work in the fields of: Computer Science, Elementary School Teacher, Psychology, Nursing and Liberal Arts)

The job market may not be booming. But for many in the college class of 2004, it won't be quite as dismal as it was for last year's grads. That's the preliminary conclusion of the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), which released its latest quarterly starting-salary survey on Thursday. It's still early days for most college seniors on the hunt for a job. Only a small number of students typically have full-time job offers in hand halfway through their senior year. And the number of offers covered in NACE's winter survey is a small percentage of the offers covered in its fall survey, which reflects hiring through the previous August.

Still, NACE thinks there's reason for cautious optimism.
