nsf.gov - SRS What Do People Do After Earning an S&E Bachelor's Degree? - US National Science Foundation (NSF)

http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/infbrief/nsf06324/

This article is very interesting about what people in the sciences (undergrad) end up going to do. Apparently ~41% of engineers go on to get additional degrees, one of the lowest of all the sciences (with Math/CS following at 39%). Also Engineers seem more likely to go into business than any of the other fields, or at least get degrees in Business. Some of it goes contrary to what I've seen at school, and other bits of the article make more sense.

If you don't feel like reading, I suggest you click anyway to see the pie chart in the beginning, it's very fascinating!
