X'ġara lill-persuni li spiċċaw

Kull figura paga fuq dan is-sit jiddeskrivi persuni li qed jaħdmu. Din il-paġna tiddeskrivi dawk li mhumiex. Erba snin wara li tlesti kwalifika US, xi sehem ta’ kull gradwat kohorta ma jkollu l-ebda qligħ fuq rekord mkien — l-ebda pagi, l-ebda self-impjieg dħul. Il-gvern federali tkejjel u tippubblika dan wieħed kulleġġ fil-ħin. Aqra madwar programmi, huwa l-eqreb ħaġa hemm għal rata falliment għal kwalifika.

53,488

Persuni fil-programmi kollha ta' hawn taħt li temmew, waqfu mill-istudju, u ma kellhom l-ebda qligħ irreġistrat erba' snin wara. 1,015,000.

“Ma naħdimx” mhuwiex l-istess bħal “qiegħed”, u d-differenza mhijiex teknika

Il-kejl huwa l-assenza ta’ kwalunkwe rekord ta’ qligħ għas-sena kollha — l-ebda pagi fuq W-2, l-ebda introjtu pożittiv minn impjieg indipendenti fuq dikjarazzjoni tat-taxxa. Ħadd f’din id-data ma kien mistoqsi jekk riedx xogħol. Għalhekk il-count fih persuni li għażlu li ma jaħdmux: jitrabbew it-tfal, jieħdu ħsieb xi qarib, jivvjaġġaw, jistudjaw xi ħaġa li mhijiex grad, jgħixu fuq id-dħul ta’ sieħeb, jew imorru barra minn pajjiżhom. Fih ukoll kull min ried jaħdem u ma setax jikseb xogħol. It-tnejn mhumiex separati x’imkien, minn ħadd, u ma naħsbux dwar il-qsim. Dak li tistabbilixxi l-figura huwa kemm-il persuna lestew kwalifika u, erba’ snin wara, ma kienu jaqilgħu xejn minnha jew minn xi ħaġa oħra — li hija l-mistoqsija li l-medja tal-paga ma tgħidx dwarha.

Min hu magħdud, u min mhuwiex

Nies biss li ħadu għajnuna federali għall-istudenti. Il-kohort huwa mibni mis-sistema federali ta’ self u għotjiet għall-istudenti, u għalhekk dawk li temmew l-istudji tagħhom u ħallsu huma assenti. Dan ifisser bejn wieħed u ieħor nofs l-istudenti tal-università fl-Istati Uniti. Jekk in-nofs l-ieħor isir aħjar jew agħar mhuwiex ippubblikat, u dan huwa l-akbar ħaġa waħda li ma nafux dwar dawn iċ-ċifri.

Nies li għadhom qed jistudjaw mhumiex fl-ebda kolonna. Xi ħadd li lesta l-Baċellerat u mar dritt għall-Masters huwa eskluż kemm mill-għadd ta' dawk li jaħdmu kif ukoll minn dawk li ma jaħdmux, li huwa korrett: ma naqasx milli jsib xogħol, ma fittxux.Dan ifisser ukoll li r-rata hija sehem ta' nies li fil-fatt telqu mill-edukazzjoni, mhux sehem ta' dawk kollha li ggradwaw.

Il-kodiċi tal-programm federali huwa akbar minn impjieg. Il-programmi huma ppubblikati f’granularità ta’ erba’ ċifri u mhux aktar. Ir-radjografija, it-terapija respiratorja u t-teknoloġija kirurġika jaqsmu kodiċi wieħed; it-terapija fiżika taqsam kodiċi ieħor mat-terapija okkupazzjonali. Ir-ringieli li jkopru aktar minn okkupazzjoni waħda huma mmarkati hawn taħt u d-dettalji jinsabu taħt kull waħda. Fejn ringiela hija maqsuma, iċ-ċifra hija dwar il-kodiċi, mhux dwar xi xogħol wieħed fiha.

Programmi żgħar huma mrażżna fis-sors, u aħna ma jimlew il-vojt. Id-Dipartiment iżomm l-għadd ta’ istituzzjonijiet b’kohorti żgħar wisq biex jippubblikaw b’mod sikur, u jżid ħoss statistiku ma’ dawk li jippubblika. Għalhekk kull ringiela hawnhekk hija somma fuq l-istituzzjonijiet kbar biżżejjed biex tirrapporta. Il-kolonna tal-kopertura turi x’sehem mit-total nazzjonali tad-Dipartiment stess dik is-somma tirkupra; xejn ma jidher taħt 75.0%, u xejn jidher ma kohorta taħt 1,000.

U l-programmi żgħar li nistgħu naraw mhumiex qed iġorru r-riżultat. Kull rata taħt ġiet ikkalkulata mill-ġdid bl-iżgħar programmi ta’ rappurtar — kohorts taħt 30 — Madwar kull ringiela fuq din il-paġna l-akbar moviment kien 0.6 Dan huwa l-kontroll in-nies normalment jitolbu għal u dan jiġi lura nadif, sabiex iċ-ċifri ma jkunux artifact ta' kohorts żgħar.

Kull programm nistgħu nippubblikaw, l-agħar ewwel

Issortjat mill-sehem li spiċċaw bl-ebda qligħ. Huwa intenzjonalment ma tkunx issortjata mill-paga — il-kolonna tal-paga hija hawnhekk sabiex inti tista tara dak li dawk li ma sabu xogħol huma qligħ, u qatt ma tiddeċiedi l-ordni.

Cosmetology and personal grooming, undergraduate certificate or diploma Kodiċi kondiviż — ikopri aktar minn okkupazzjoni waħda 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 Kodiċi kondiviż — ikopri aktar minn okkupazzjoni waħda 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 Kodiċi kondiviż — ikopri aktar minn okkupazzjoni waħda 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 Kodiċi kondiviż — ikopri aktar minn okkupazzjoni waħda 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 Kodiċi kondiviż — ikopri aktar minn okkupazzjoni waħda 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 Kodiċi kondiviż — ikopri aktar minn okkupazzjoni waħda 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 Kodiċi kondiviż — ikopri aktar minn okkupazzjoni waħda 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 Kodiċi kondiviż — ikopri aktar minn okkupazzjoni waħda 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 Kodiċi kondiviż — ikopri aktar minn okkupazzjoni waħda 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 Kodiċi kondiviż — ikopri aktar minn okkupazzjoni waħda 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 Kodiċi kondiviż — ikopri aktar minn okkupazzjoni waħda 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 Kodiċi kondiviż — ikopri aktar minn okkupazzjoni waħda 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

Practical nursing and nursing assistant training, undergraduate certificate or diploma Kodiċi kondiviż — ikopri aktar minn okkupazzjoni waħda 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 Kodiċi kondiviż — ikopri aktar minn okkupazzjoni waħda 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 Kodiċi kondiviż — ikopri aktar minn okkupazzjoni waħda 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

Communication disorders (speech and hearing), bachelor's degree Kodiċi kondiviż — ikopri aktar minn okkupazzjoni waħda 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.

Rehabilitation and therapy, bachelor's degree Kodiċi kondiviż — ikopri aktar minn okkupazzjoni waħda 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 Kodiċi kondiviż — ikopri aktar minn okkupazzjoni waħda 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 Kodiċi kondiviż — ikopri aktar minn okkupazzjoni waħda 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

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

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

Medicine (doctoral programmes), doctoral degree Kodiċi kondiviż — ikopri aktar minn okkupazzjoni waħda 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.

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 Kodiċi kondiviż — ikopri aktar minn okkupazzjoni waħda 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 Kodiċi kondiviż — ikopri aktar minn okkupazzjoni waħda 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

Sors: Id-Dipartiment tal-Edukazzjoni tal-Istati Uniti, College Scorecard, dejta dwar il-qasam tal-istudju, rilaxx tal-10 ta ’Ġunju 2026. Il-qligħ jitkejjel erba’ snin wara t-tlestija u huma figuri nazzjonali ppubblikati mid-Dipartiment; ir-rata ta ’min ma jaħdimx hija s-somma tagħna stess tal-għadd tal-livell istituzzjonali li jippubblikaw. Il-kopertura hija dik is-somma bħala sehem mill-għadd tal-ħaddiema nazzjonali tad-Dipartiment stess għall-istess programm u livell, bl-għadd ta’ gruppi ta ’istituzzjonijiet li jirrappurtaw taħtha. · Ħarsa ġenerali

Kif taqra ż-żewġ kolonni tal-flus

Il-kolonna tal-paga hija figura ta' superstiti, u dak hu l-punt. Hija l-medjan għall-persuni fl-istess kohort li kienu jaħdmu — dawk fil-kolonna l-oħra mhumiex fiha. Kull medjan fuq kull sit tal-paga hija mibnija b’dan il-mod; kważi ebda wieħed minnhom ma juri l-kolonna ħdejha. Qari tat-tnejn flimkien huwa l-uniku mod il-figura tal-paga tfisser xi ħaġa: medjan għoli flimkien ma rata għolja mhux xogħol huwa programm fejn in-nies li jagħmlu dan jagħmlu tajjeb u sehem sinifikanti ma jagħmlux dan.

Il-kolonna tad-dejn hija livell baxx, mhux prezz. Dan huwa d-dejn medjan federali tas-self li jsir meta jitlesta l-programm – dak li n-nies fil-fatt jissellfu mill-gvern. Dan jeskludi l-għotjiet, it-tfaddil, il-flus tal-familja, is-self privat u l-ispejjeż tal-għajxien, u għalhekk l-ispiża reali ta’ kull programm hawnhekk hija ogħla min-numru muri, b’ammont li ħadd ma jippubblika. Hija wkoll medjana bejn l-istituzzjonijiet li jirrapportaw waħda, li mhijiex l-istess bħal medjana bejn l-istudenti.

Erba’ snin huma kmieni għal xi wħud minn dawn u tard għal ħadd minnhom. Għal ċertifikat, erba’ snin huma karriera stabbilita, għal mediċina huwa nofs residenza, u għalhekk ir-ringieli mediċi juru qligħ ferm inqas minn dak li dawk it-tobba eventwalment jagħmlu — iċ-ċifra hija reali, sempliċement qed tkejjel il-qiegħ tal-kurva. Id-Dipartiment ma jippubblika xejn aktar, u lanqas aħna.

Dan ma jfissirx li programm huwa ħażin. Kwalifika tista’ tkun meħtieġa legalment, jew l-uniku mod kif wieħed jidħol għax-xogħol, u xorta waħda turi riżultat ħażin wara erba’ snin. Dak li tagħmel il-kolonna huwa li twaqqaf il-fatt li l-paga tkun qed tinqara bħala wegħda.
