Washington: When it comes to engagement at work, where you attended college isn’t as important as the experience that one had there. A survey by Gallup-Purdue University of 30,000 college graduates nationwide found that public school graduates are just as engaged and committed to their work as the private school graduates.
The survey also found that the graduates of public schools also reportedly thrived in all areas of their life as much as not-for-profit private school graduates.
The poll revealed that when referred to overall well-being where people attended college – and how selective was the university – didn’t matter significantly.
The survey also suggested that job satisfaction was more closely linked to factors like whether a graduate had a mentor in college or a professor who had them excited about learning and whether college prepared them well for life and if they were emotionally attached to their school.
