Cad a tharla do na daoine a chríochnaigh

Gach figiúr pá ar an suíomh seo cur síos ar dhaoine atá ag obair. Cur síos ar an leathanach seo na cinn nach bhfuil. Ceithre bliana tar éis chríochnú cáilíocht SAM, roinnt sciar de gach cohort céim a bhfuil aon tuilleamh ar taifead in áit ar bith - aon phá, aon ioncam féinfhostaíochta. Tomhaiseann an rialtas cónaidhme é agus foilsíonn sé coláiste amháin ag an am. Léigh ar fud cláir, is é an rud is gaire atá ann do ráta teip le haghaidh cáilíochta.

53,488

Daoine sna cláir uile thíos a chríochnaigh, a stop staidéar, agus nach raibh aon tuilleamh taifeadta acu ceithre bliana ina dhiaidh sin. 1,015,000.

Ní ionann “gan bheith ag obair” agus “dífhostaithe”, agus ní teicniúlacht é an difríocht

Is é an tomhas ná an easpa aon taifead tuillimh don bhliain iomlán — gan aon phá ar W-2, gan aon ioncam dearfach féinfhostaíochta ar thuairisceán cánach. Níor iarradh ar aon duine sna sonraí seo an raibh post ag teastáil uathu. Mar sin, tá daoine sa chomhaireamh a roghnaigh gan oibriú: leanaí a ardú, cúram a thabhairt do ghaol, taisteal, staidéar a dhéanamh ar rud nach céim é, maireachtáil ar ioncam páirtnéara, nó bogadh thar lear. Tá gach duine ann freisin a theastaigh obair uathu agus nach bhféadfadh siad é a fháil. Níl an dá rud scartha in aon áit, ag aon duine, agus ní dhéanfaimid buille faoi thuairim ar an scoilt. Cad a bhunaíonn an figiúr ná cé mhéad duine a chríochnaigh cáilíocht agus, ceithre bliana ina dhiaidh sin, nach raibh aon rud á thuilleamh acu uaidh nó ó aon rud eile — is é sin an cheist nach bhfuil an figiúr meánphá tost faoi.

Cé a chomhaireamh, agus nach bhfuil

Ag tabhairt freagra ar student aid. Tá an cohort tógtha as an córas mac léinn-iasachtaí agus deontas cónaidhme, mar sin tá completers a d'íoc a mbealach féin as láthair. Is é sin thart ar leath na fochéimithe US. Cibé an leath atá in easnamh a dhéanann níos fearr nó níos measa nach bhfuil foilsithe, agus is é an rud is mó aonair nach bhfuil a fhios againn faoi na figiúirí.

Níl daoine atá fós ag staidéar i gceachtar colún. Tá duine a chríochnaigh céim bhaitsiléara agus a chuaigh díreach isteach i gcúrsa máistreachta eisiata ón gcomhaireamh oibre agus ón gcomhaireamh neamhoibre araon, rud atá ceart: níor theip orthu post a fháil, níor lorg siad post. Ciallaíonn sé freisin gur sciar de na daoine a d’fhág an t-oideachas i ndáiríre an ráta, ní sciar de gach duine a fuair céim.

Tá an cód clár cónaidhme coarser ná post. Foilsítear cláir ag gráinneacht ceithre dhigit agus ní mionsonraithe. Roinntear cód amháin idir radagrafaíocht, teiripe riospráide agus teicneolaíocht máinliachta; roinntear cód eile idir teiripe fhisiceach agus teiripe saothair. Tá rónna a chlúdaíonn níos mó ná gairm amháin marcáilte thíos agus tá na sonraí faoi gach ceann acu. Nuair a roinntear ró, is faoin gcód atá an figiúr, ní faoi aon phost aonair laistigh de.

Cuirtear clár beag faoi chois ag an bhfoinse, agus ní líonaimid an bhearna. Coinníonn an Roinn siar comhaireamh d’institiúidí a bhfuil cohóirt róbheag acu le foilsiú go sábháilte, agus cuireann sí torann staidrimh leis na cinn a fhoilsíonn sí. Mar sin, is ionann gach ró anseo agus suim thar na hinstitiúidí atá mór go leor le tuairisciú. Léiríonn an colún cumhdaigh cé mhéad den iomlán náisiúnta féin a ghnóthaíonn an tsuim sin; ní fheictear aon rud thíos 75.0%, agus tá an chuma ar rud ar bith le cohort faoi 1,000.

Agus níl na cláir bheaga a fheicimid ag iompar an toraidh. Rinneadh gach ráta thíos a athríomh leis na cláir tuairiscithe is lú — cohóirteanna faoi 30 — Thar gach ró ar an leathanach seo bhí an gluaiseacht is mó 0.6 Is é sin an seic a iarrann daoine de ghnáth agus a thagann ar ais glan, mar sin ní hé an figiúr seo déantán cohórtaí beaga.

Gach clár is féidir linn a fhoilsiú, an ceann is measa ar dtús

Sórtáilte de réir an sciar a chríochnaigh le tuilleamh ar bith.Tá sé d'aon ghnó nach bhfuil sórtáilte de réir pá - tá an colún pá anseo ionas gur féidir leat a fheiceáil cad iad na cinn a rinne obair a fháil ag tuilleamh, agus ní chinneann sé an t-ordú.

Cosmetology and personal grooming, undergraduate certificate or diploma Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 12.04 is cosmetology together with barbering, nail technology, esthetics and related grooming programmes. They lead to different state licences and somewhat different pay, and the Department publishes no split. What they have in common is the thing this row shows: they are the largest sub-degree programme in the country by completions, and they have the worst four-year outcome of any programme on this page.	15.4% 16,760	109,085	$26,307 $13,783–$41,270	$8,252	81.8% 788
Health and medical administration, associate's degree Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 51.07 covers medical billing and coding, health information technology, medical office administration and, at graduate level, health services administration. The sub-degree end of this code is one of the most heavily marketed training products in the country, and its four-year outcome is among the worst on this page — but it is also the code where the Department suppresses the most, so the certificate row does not clear our coverage floor and is not published here at all.	14.1% 3,114	22,121	$37,073 $23,345–$49,261	$19,042	81.0% 213
Vehicle maintenance and repair, undergraduate certificate or diploma Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 47.06 is vehicle maintenance and repair: automotive technology, diesel and heavy equipment, collision repair, motorcycle and marine, and aircraft powerplant and airframe technology. Aviation maintenance leads to an FAA certificate and pays materially more than automotive work, and the Department publishes no split, so this figure is a blend and cannot be read as either.	9.7% 3,242	33,263	$51,586 $33,822–$71,553	$9,500	89.0% 263
Dental support (hygiene and assisting), undergraduate certificate or diploma Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 51.06 holds dental hygiene and dental assisting together, and the two are not comparable: dental hygiene is a licensed associate-degree role that pays around the associate figure here, dental assisting is a short certificate that pays far less. The credential level separates them better than the code does — the certificate row is mostly assisting, the associate and bachelor's rows mostly hygiene — but neither split is published, so neither is certain.	9.4% 1,703	18,040	$33,673 $21,167–$43,924	$9,201	75.3% 190
Ground transportation (truck and bus driving), undergraduate certificate or diploma Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 49.02 is ground transportation: truck and bus driving, and also flagging and traffic control. Most completions are truck driving. One caveat matters more here than anywhere else on this page — this covers only the driving schools that take federal student aid, and most CDL training is paid in cash or funded by a carrier and never appears in federal data at all.	8.4% 834	9,948	$52,118 $28,154–$74,052	$6,333	80.4% 74
Allied health and medical assisting, associate's degree Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 51.08 covers medical assisting, pharmacy technician, medical transcription, phlebotomy, veterinary technology and several other support roles in one code. They pay very differently and the Department publishes no split.	8.1% 2,159	26,631	$42,269 $28,587–$56,048	$14,062	79.4% 376
Chiropractic, first professional degree CIP 51.01 is chiropractic and nothing else — no other programme is filed under it, so unlike most codes here the figure is about one qualification and one profession.	7.5% 235	3,126	$61,163 $33,422–$89,313	$193,488	100.0% 10
Health and medical administration, bachelor's degree Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 51.07 covers medical billing and coding, health information technology, medical office administration and, at graduate level, health services administration. The sub-degree end of this code is one of the most heavily marketed training products in the country, and its four-year outcome is among the worst on this page — but it is also the code where the Department suppresses the most, so the certificate row does not clear our coverage floor and is not published here at all.	7.4% 1,488	20,230	$58,716 $41,903–$80,437	$25,325	87.9% 204
Dietetics and clinical nutrition, bachelor's degree Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 51.31 is dietetics and clinical nutrition. The bachelor's degree no longer reaches the registered dietitian credential on its own — since 2024 the Commission on Dietetic Registration has required a master's — so this row covers a qualification that is now a step rather than a destination, which is part of why its four-year outcome is worse than the graduate rows in health.	7.1% 226	3,178	$55,753 $40,535–$68,442	$22,375	83.3% 67
Allied health diagnostic and treatment, undergraduate certificate or diploma Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 51.09 is the broadest code on this page and it is shared. Radiography, respiratory therapy, surgical technology, cardiovascular technology, sonography, perfusion, athletic training and physician assistant studies are all inside it, and the Department publishes no split. At associate level the code is dominated by imaging, respiratory and surgical technology; at master's level by physician assistant programmes, which is why the earnings jump. No figure here is specific to any one of those occupations and it must not be quoted as though it were.	6.1% 870	14,190	$57,584 $37,331–$79,965	$9,500	76.4% 256
Vehicle maintenance and repair, associate's degree Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 47.06 is vehicle maintenance and repair: automotive technology, diesel and heavy equipment, collision repair, motorcycle and marine, and aircraft powerplant and airframe technology. Aviation maintenance leads to an FAA certificate and pays materially more than automotive work, and the Department publishes no split, so this figure is a blend and cannot be read as either.	5.8% 707	12,247	$58,424 $40,794–$77,509	$12,000	75.1% 152
Air transportation, bachelor's degree Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 49.01 is air transportation: professional pilot programmes together with aviation management, air traffic control and flight operations. The bachelor's row is mostly professional pilot and aviation management, and the Department publishes no split between them.	5.0% 229	4,552	$85,825 $61,701–$118,209	$22,067	93.0% 46
Law (research doctorate), doctoral degree Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 22.01 at doctoral level is the research doctorate in law and a small number of professional programmes the Department classes at this level rather than as first professional. It is not the ordinary route to practising law, which is the first-professional JD row.	4.7% 266	5,651	$105,518 $75,697–$161,837	$113,386	96.4% 25
Law (JD), first professional degree CIP 22.01 at first-professional level is the Juris Doctor. The figure is about law graduates, not admitted lawyers: it counts everyone who finished the degree, including those who never sat or never passed a bar examination. That is the right population for the question "was law school worth it" and the wrong one for "how many lawyers are out of work".	4.6% 1,860	40,840	$107,773 $75,568–$176,111	$106,239	97.0% 163
Architecture, bachelor's degree CIP 04.02 is architecture proper — the accredited professional degree route. It excludes interior architecture, landscape architecture and urban planning, which have their own codes. It is one of the cleaner codes on this page. Note that the degree is only the first of the three requirements for a licence: the experience hours and the six-division examination come after, and NCARB reports the average path from start to licence at 12.3 years.	4.6% 203	4,438	$66,914 $54,236–$78,634	$26,442	94.0% 79
Social work, bachelor's degree CIP 44.07 is social work, and the master's row is the MSW — the degree that leads to clinical licensure in every state. It is one of the larger and cleaner codes here. It does not include counselling or psychology, which have their own codes.	4.5% 1,259	28,250	$51,790 $39,212–$64,160	$23,611	93.1% 407
Architecture, master's degree CIP 04.02 is architecture proper — the accredited professional degree route. It excludes interior architecture, landscape architecture and urban planning, which have their own codes. It is one of the cleaner codes on this page. Note that the degree is only the first of the three requirements for a licence: the experience hours and the six-division examination come after, and NCARB reports the average path from start to licence at 12.3 years.	4.5% 96	2,118	$74,139 $62,872–$86,117	$31,166	84.4% 50
Practical nursing and nursing assistant training, undergraduate certificate or diploma Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 51.39 puts practical and vocational nursing — the LPN/LVN route — in the same code as nursing-assistant and orderly training, and at certificate level the two cannot be separated. Those are very different qualifications: one is a licensed clinical role reached after about a year, the other is a few weeks of training for work that pays far less. This figure is both of them together, and the mix is not published, so it may not be read as the LPN figure.	4.3% 2,047	47,882	$56,073 $37,200–$76,301	$10,605	84.2% 643
Public health, bachelor's degree Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 51.22 is public health: epidemiology, health education, environmental health and health policy, plus the MPH. It leads to no single occupation and no licence, which is unusual on this page and worth weighing — the qualification is real, but nothing legally requires it for any specific job.	4.3% 602	14,095	$58,808 $41,981–$79,154	$22,500	86.6% 163
Health and medical administration, master's degree Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 51.07 covers medical billing and coding, health information technology, medical office administration and, at graduate level, health services administration. The sub-degree end of this code is one of the most heavily marketed training products in the country, and its four-year outcome is among the worst on this page — but it is also the code where the Department suppresses the most, so the certificate row does not clear our coverage floor and is not published here at all.	4.3% 595	13,970	$89,981 $62,852–$126,886	$40,243	86.6% 165
Dental support (hygiene and assisting), associate's degree Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 51.06 holds dental hygiene and dental assisting together, and the two are not comparable: dental hygiene is a licensed associate-degree role that pays around the associate figure here, dental assisting is a short certificate that pays far less. The credential level separates them better than the code does — the certificate row is mostly assisting, the associate and bachelor's rows mostly hygiene — but neither split is published, so neither is certain.	4.2% 353	8,378	$61,982 $42,175–$79,205	$15,375	83.7% 205

Radiography, respiratory therapy, surgical technology, cardiovascular technology, sonography, perfusion, athletic training and physician assistant studies are all inside it, and the Department publishes no split. At associate level the code is dominated by imaging, respiratory and surgical technology; at master's level by physician assistant programmes, which is why the earnings jump. No figure here is specific to any one of those occupations and it must not be quoted as though it were.	4.1% 1,226	29,788	$65,389 $46,431–$84,999	$14,653	84.6% 487
Public health, master's degree Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 51.22 is public health: epidemiology, health education, environmental health and health policy, plus the MPH. It leads to no single occupation and no licence, which is unusual on this page and worth weighing — the qualification is real, but nothing legally requires it for any specific job.	4.1% 563	13,669	$82,751 $61,518–$113,501	$41,000	87.0% 172
Communication disorders (speech and hearing), bachelor's degree Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 51.02 covers speech-language pathology and audiology together. At master's level it is overwhelmingly speech-language pathology, because audiology moved to a clinical doctorate; at bachelor's level it is a pre-professional degree that qualifies you for neither on its own, which is worth knowing before enrolling.	3.5% 390	11,012	$58,928 $44,993–$73,005	$20,500	94.4% 203
Social work, master's degree CIP 44.07 is social work, and the master's row is the MSW — the degree that leads to clinical licensure in every state. It is one of the larger and cleaner codes here. It does not include counselling or psychology, which have their own codes.	3.4% 1,503	44,604	$65,123 $51,662–$79,737	$37,736	96.9% 248
Rehabilitation and therapy, bachelor's degree Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 51.23 covers physical therapy, occupational therapy, therapeutic recreation, art and music therapy and rehabilitation counselling together. The doctoral row is mostly the Doctor of Physical Therapy alongside occupational therapy doctorates; the master's row is mostly occupational therapy and counselling. Physical therapy alone cannot be extracted from any of them, so none of these is the physical therapy figure.	3.3% 137	4,167	$55,792 $40,044–$73,848	$25,000	80.5% 71
Dentistry (advanced and specialty), doctoral degree Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 51.04 at doctoral level is a small group of programmes the Department classes as doctoral rather than first professional, including advanced and specialty dental training. The ordinary route to practising dentistry is the first-professional row.	3.2% 35	1,089	$166,240 $98,293–$241,274	$373,155	95.0% 5
Pharmacy, doctoral degree Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 51.20 is pharmacy together with pharmaceutical sciences and pharmacy administration. The first-professional row is the PharmD, the route to licensure; the doctoral row is largely research doctorates in pharmaceutical science, which lead to laboratory and industry work rather than a pharmacy counter.	3.1% 181	5,819	$136,696 $117,606–$156,076	$181,778	91.5% 36
Registered nursing, associate's degree CIP 51.38 is registered nursing, together with nursing administration, nursing research and clinical nursing specialisms. At associate and bachelor's level it is almost entirely pre-licensure programmes leading to the NCLEX-RN, so the figure can fairly be read as being about becoming a registered nurse. At master's level and above it also carries nurse practitioners, nurse anaesthetists, nurse midwives, nurse educators and nursing administrators, which are different jobs with different pay.	3.0% 2,548	86,299	$80,813 $61,109–$103,839	$14,910	95.0% 862
Pharmacy, first professional degree Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 51.20 is pharmacy together with pharmaceutical sciences and pharmacy administration. The first-professional row is the PharmD, the route to licensure; the doctoral row is largely research doctorates in pharmaceutical science, which lead to laboratory and industry work rather than a pharmacy counter.	2.9% 438	14,903	$138,348 $120,409–$158,074	$141,047	93.0% 80

Dentistry (DDS/DMD), first professional degree CIP 51.04 at first-professional level is the DDS and DMD. It does not include dental hygiene or dental assisting, which are CIP 51.06 and appear separately. Specialty residencies taken after the degree are also outside it.	2.7% 210	7,918	$170,812 $110,187–$239,976	$257,402	98.6% 53
Dental support (hygiene and assisting), bachelor's degree Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 51.06 holds dental hygiene and dental assisting together, and the two are not comparable: dental hygiene is a licensed associate-degree role that pays around the associate figure here, dental assisting is a short certificate that pays far less.

Rehabilitation and therapy, master's degree Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 51.23 covers physical therapy, occupational therapy, therapeutic recreation, art and music therapy and rehabilitation counselling together. The doctoral row is mostly the Doctor of Physical Therapy alongside occupational therapy doctorates; the master's row is mostly occupational therapy and counselling.

Optometry, first professional degree CIP 51.17 at first-professional level is the Doctor of Optometry. It is a small and well-defined code: sixteen institution groups report, and they cover 86% of the Department's national count.	2.4% 42	1,740	$131,525 $100,524–$158,455	$172,132	86.1% 16

At master's level it is overwhelmingly speech-language pathology, because audiology moved to a clinical doctorate; at bachelor's level it is a pre-professional degree that qualifies you for neither on its own, which is worth knowing before enrolling.	2.2% 249	11,235	$67,030 $53,057–$82,358	$41,000	93.2% 223
Nursing (advanced practice and administration), master's degree Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 51.38 is registered nursing, together with nursing administration, nursing research and clinical nursing specialisms. At associate and bachelor's level it is almost entirely pre-licensure programmes leading to the NCLEX-RN, so the figure can fairly be read as being about becoming a registered nurse.

Medicine (doctoral programmes), doctoral degree Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 51.12 at doctoral level is a mixture of programmes the Department classes as doctoral rather than first professional. The ordinary MD and DO route is the first-professional row, and the same residency caveat applies to both.	1.5% 73	4,714	$118,504 $77,695–$219,037	$216,633	76.6% 21
Medicine (MD/DO), first professional degree CIP 51.12 at first-professional level is the MD and DO. Read the earnings figure with the calendar in mind and it stops being surprising: four years after finishing medical school almost everyone in this cohort is a resident, and a resident's salary is not a doctor's salary. This row measures the bottom of the curve, not the plateau, and the Department publishes nothing further out.	1.3% 423	31,703	$112,460 $77,012–$214,525	$193,336	86.3% 128
Rehabilitation and therapy, first professional degree Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 51.23 covers physical therapy, occupational therapy, therapeutic recreation, art and music therapy and rehabilitation counselling together. The doctoral row is mostly the Doctor of Physical Therapy alongside occupational therapy doctorates; the master's row is mostly occupational therapy and counselling. Physical therapy alone cannot be extracted from any of them, so none of these is the physical therapy figure.	1.3% 56	4,291	$81,641 $67,036–$93,971	$102,124	80.9% 44
Nursing (advanced practice and administration), first professional degree Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 51.38 is registered nursing, together with nursing administration, nursing research and clinical nursing specialisms. At associate and bachelor's level it is almost entirely pre-licensure programmes leading to the NCLEX-RN, so the figure can fairly be read as being about becoming a registered nurse. At master's level and above it also carries nurse practitioners, nurse anaesthetists, nurse midwives, nurse educators and nursing administrators, which are different jobs with different pay.	1.3% 18	1,387	$133,099 $107,508–$174,772	$67,996	81.9% 22
Allied health diagnostic and treatment, master's degree Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 51.09 is the broadest code on this page and it is shared. Radiography, respiratory therapy, surgical technology, cardiovascular technology, sonography, perfusion, athletic training and physician assistant studies are all inside it, and the Department publishes no split. At associate level the code is dominated by imaging, respiratory and surgical technology; at master's level by physician assistant programmes, which is why the earnings jump. No figure here is specific to any one of those occupations and it must not be quoted as though it were.	1.2% 166	13,462	$127,347 $103,242–$152,756	$109,092	83.6% 161
Nursing (advanced practice and administration), doctoral degree Cód comhroinnte — clúdaíonn sé níos mó ná gairm amháin CIP 51.38 is registered nursing, together with nursing administration, nursing research and clinical nursing specialisms. At associate and bachelor's level it is almost entirely pre-licensure programmes leading to the NCLEX-RN, so the figure can fairly be read as being about becoming a registered nurse. At master's level and above it also carries nurse practitioners, nurse anaesthetists, nurse midwives, nurse educators and nursing administrators, which are different jobs with different pay.	1.1% 74	7,033	$138,131 $106,294–$185,434	$69,145	81.3% 113

Conas an dá cholún airgid a léamh

Is é an colún pá figiúr marthanais, agus sin an pointe. Is é an meánmhéid do na daoine sa chohort céanna a bhí ag obair — na cinn sa cholún eile nach bhfuil sa. gach meánmhéid ar gach suíomh pá tógtha ar an mbealach sin; beagnach aon cheann acu a thaispeáint duit an colún in aice leis. ag léamh an dá le chéile is é an t-aon bhealach a chiallaíonn an figiúr pá rud ar bith: meánmhéid ard in aice le ráta ard nach bhfuil ag obair clár ina bhfuil na daoine a dhéanann sé ag déanamh go maith agus sciar suntasach nach bhfuil a dhéanamh air.

Is í an cholún fiachais urlár, ní praghas. Is é an fiach meánmhéide iasachta cónaidhme a iompraítear ag críochnú an chúrsa – an méid a fuair daoine ar iasacht ón rialtas i ndáiríre. Ní áirítear deontais, coigilteas, airgead teaghlaigh, iasachtaí príobháideacha agus costais mhaireachtála, mar sin tá fíorchostas gach cláir anseo níos airde ná an uimhir a thaispeántar, méid nach bhfoilsíonn aon duine. Is meánmhéide é freisin ar fud na n-institiúidí a thuairiscíonn ceann, nach ionann agus meánmhéide ar fud na mac léinn.

Tá ceithre bliana róluath do chuid acu agus ródhéanach do chuid eile. I gcás teastais, is ceithre bliana amach gairme socraithe é. I gcás leighis, is é lár cónaitheachta é, agus sin an fáth a léiríonn na sraitheanna leighis tuilleamh i bhfad faoi bhun an méid a dhéanfaidh na dochtúirí sin ar deireadh — tá an figiúr fíor, níl ann ach bun an chuar a thomhas. Ní fhoilsíonn an Roinn aon rud níos faide amach, mar sin ní dhéanaimid é.

Ní deir aon cheann de na rudaí seo go bhfuil clár dona. Is féidir go bhfuil gá le cáilíocht de réir dlí, nó is féidir gurb é an t-aon bhealach isteach san obair é, agus go léiríonn sé toradh ceithre bliana fós.
