A Research Note on the Civilian Occupations of USMA Graduates (A Product Appraisal Report),

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to obtain some basic information concerning the civilian employment experiences of graduates from the Classes of 1950-1965, to determine the value of USMA's and the Military Service's education and training for their civilian employment experiences, and to compare their responses to those of graduates from the Classes of 1920-1949, who were asked the same questions in a prior survey. It was found that the USMA graduates from both surveys were employed in a wide variety of civilian occupations and have fairly decent incomes from these jobs. The graduates also feel that the education and training received at USMA and while in the service are valuable and transferrable to their civilian occupations. A solid majority of the respondents would once again attend USMA if they could do it over. Similarities and differences in the responses of the Classes of 1950-1965 and 1920-1949 are noted. (Author)
