premise: But since as many as 30 percent to 40 percent of the graduates at schools like CUNY go into small or solo practices within a few years of graduating, the deans argue, it seems folly not to teach them how to stay afloat financially and take on low-income clients at the same time.
hypothesis: CUNY itself has a rate of 39.85% of its graduates continuing into small practices, followed by 29.05% moving into different career fields, 1.05% making 100k their first year, and 30% dropping out of the workforce to care for family and personal needs.
