The given graphs show a comparison between the number of UK college graduates along with the professions they chose the most within a decade beginning from 1992. It is crystal clear that the number of graduates peaked in 1997, while low interest in professionals led to growth in other fields, even though professionals kept their popularity among university graduates.
UK colleges handed out diplomas to well above 150000 students in 1992. These numbers saw a great increase and reached their all-time high of about 190000 students in 1997 right before plummeting to roughly 176000 in 2003.
In 1992, 10000 and 20000 students chose Clerical&Secretarial and Managerial&Administrative fields, respectively. Nearly one third of graduates, in the same year, applied for professional positions.
