Kodi chinachitika kwa anthu amene anamaliza
Patsambali timafotokoza za anthu amene sagwira ntchito. Miyezi itatu pambuyo pomaliza maphunziro a US, ochepa mwa anthu amene amaliza maphunzirowa sapeza ndalama m’mabuku, palibe ndalama, palibe ndalama zogwira ntchito zokha. Malamulo a boma la federal amawawerengera ndipo amawafalitsa m’masukulu amodzi pa nthawi. Kuwerenga m’maphunziro, ndi chinthu chokhacho chomwe chimagwirizana ndi kuchuluka kwa anthu amene sagwira ntchito.
Mtengo woipa kwambiri kusindikizidwa pano, pa pulogalamu: Cosmetology and personal grooming, undergraduate certificate or diploma.
Mtengo wabwino kwambiri wosindikizidwa pano: Rehabilitation and therapy, doctoral degree.
Anthu onse m'maphunziro pansipa amene anamaliza, analephera kuphunzira, ndipo sanali ndi ndalama zowerengedwa zaka zisanu zapitazo. 1,015,000.
“Kusagwira ntchito” sichinthu chofanana ndi “osagwira ntchito”, ndipo kusiyanaku sichingakhale chifukwa cha sayansi
Mtengo ndi kulephera kwa aliyense ndalama zosunga kwa chaka chonse - palibe ndalama pa W-2, palibe zabwino ndalama ntchito yokha pa tax return. Nobody mu izi deta anafunsidwa ngati iwo ankafuna ntchito. Choncho mitengo ali anthu amene anasankha kuti sagwira ntchito: kuphunzitsa ana, kusamalira mnzake, kuyenda, kuphunzira chinachake kuti si digiri, kusangalala pa ndalama mnzake, kapena kunyamula kunja. It also contains everyone who wanted work and could not get it. The two are not separated anywhere, by anyone, and we will not guess at the split. What the figure establishes is how many people completed a qualification and, four years on, were earning nothing from it or from anything else - which is the question the median pay figure is silent about.
Kodi ndi ndani amene akuwerengedwa, ndipo ndi ndani amene sawerengedwa
Koma anthu amene anatenga federal student aid. The cohort ndi yopangidwa kuchokera federal mwana-loya ndi ndalama dongosolo, kotero completers amene analipira njira yawo yapadera sizikupezeka. That is roughly half of US undergraduates. Whether the missing half does better or worse is not published, and it is the single largest thing we don’t know about these figures.
Anthu amene ali ndi maphunzirowa sapezeka m'mizere yonseyi. Mmodzi mwa anthu amene anamaliza maphunziro a Bachelor ndipo anapita ku Master’s, sawerengedwa m’magulu awiriwa, omwe ndi ogwira ntchito komanso ogwira ntchito, zomwe ndi zoona: sanapeze ntchito, sanayese. Izi zikutanthauza kuti mfundoyi ndi ya anthu amene anachoka kusukulu, si ya anthu onse amene anamaliza maphunziro.
Kodi federal program code ndi coarser kuposa ntchito. Programmes are published at four-digit granularity and no finer. Radiography, respiratory therapy and surgical technology share one code; physical therapy shares another with occupational therapy. Rows covering more than one occupation are marked below and the detail sits under each one. Where a row is shared, the figure is about the code, not about any single job inside it.
Maphunziro ang'onoang'ono amalepheretsa kupezeka kwa maphunzirowa, ndipo sitiyenera kuchotsa chitsekocho. Department imangotenga ziwerengero za mabungwe omwe ali ndi mabungwe otsika kwambiri kuti apereke motetezeka, ndipo amawonjezera ziwerengero za ziwerengero kwa omwe amafalitsa.

Ndipo maphunziro ochepa tingathe kuona sikuti akuchita zotsatira.

Cosmetology and personal grooming, undergraduate certificate or diploma
Shared code — amaphatikizapo ntchito zambiri kuposa imodzi 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. |

Shared code — amaphatikizapo ntchito zambiri kuposa imodzi 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. |

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. |

Shared code — amaphatikizapo ntchito zambiri kuposa imodzi 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.

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. |

Dietetics and clinical nutrition, bachelor's degree
Shared code — amaphatikizapo ntchito zambiri kuposa imodzi 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. |

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. |

Rehabilitation and therapy, first professional degree
Shared code — amaphatikizapo ntchito zambiri kuposa imodzi 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. |

Nursing (advanced practice and administration), first professional degree
Shared code — amaphatikizapo ntchito zambiri kuposa imodzi 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. |

Allied health diagnostic and treatment, master's degree
Shared code — amaphatikizapo ntchito zambiri kuposa imodzi 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. |

Miyezi inayi ndi nthawi yoyamba kwa ena mwa iwo ndipo nthawi yaitali kwa ena. For a certificate, four years out is a settled career. For medicine it is the middle of a residency, which is why the medical rows show earnings far below what those doctors will eventually make — the figure is real, it is simply measuring the bottom of the curve. The Department publishes nothing further out, so neither do we.
