Many undergraduates already have their eyes set to the future.
This year, UC Davis undergraduates and masters of business administration candidates joined college students across the country by participating in a survey about their employment goals. The academic consulting and research firm Universum sponsored an undergraduate survey, asking 3,166 students about their future career plans. In spite of the fact that respondents expected to work an average of 47 hours per week, this expected time commitment did not detract from the goal of maintaining a balance between their private and professional lives. Among the factors respondents mentioned as important for attaining a quality lifestyle were the ability to have fun at work, ongoing opportunities for education and a short daily commute. According to the survey, computer science students tend to favor being able to work at home more than other respondents.
