‘Recycling’: The economic implications of obtaining additional post-secondary credentials at lower or equivalent levels
Authors: David L. Walters
Overview
Abstract (English)
This paper explores the earnings of graduates of community college and university undergraduate programs of different fields of study. There are two goals of this study. The first goal is to determine whether technical and applied community college programs provide their graduates with better earnings outcomes than do the so-called ‘softer’ liberal arts programs. The second goal is to examine the economic implications of obtaining an additional post-secondary credential that is not designed to be a continuation of the first credential, a practice known as ‘recycling.’ Comparisons by field of study are also investigated.
