According to a survey by Professor Peng Sen-ming of National Taiwan Normal Univeristy, only about half of the jobs taken by the class of 2003 required a university education. And many students found jobs in fields not directly related to their educations (23.6 % were unrelated, 36.2 % were partially related, and 40.2 % were closely related).
依據國立台灣師範大學教授彭森明對 2003 年大學畢業生所做的調查，結果顯示，就業學生所從事的工作，真正需要大學程度的只有一半；很多人的工作與所學不大相關（23.6％無關、36.2％部分相關、40.2％非常相關）。
