Maine to offer database of recent college graduates’ earnings - ALANNA DURKIN, Associated Press

As many college graduates grapple with poor job prospects and crushing student debt, Maine officials hope a new database will help prospective students make more informed choices about what degree to pursue and how much they can afford to borrow for their education. The database, set to be unveiled to the public next month, will allow users to view the earnings of recent graduates from Maine schools, by major. That information can ensure prospective students don’t blindly borrow tens of thousands of dollars without knowing their job prospects, officials say. http://www.pressherald.com/2014/07/11/maine-to-offer-database-of-recent-college-graduates-earnings/
