This chapter is part of a book based on the findings of a comparative study of the relationship between higher education and employment three to four years after graduation. The Career after Higher Education: a European Research Study (CHEERS) questioned graduates in 11 European countries and Japan about their socio-biographic background, course of study, transition to employment, current employment situation, competences and job requirements, job satisfaction, and regional and international mobility. The authors analysed the links between study and subsequent employment and work according to occupational categories and income. Using the gradates' perceptions, the professional success of graduates in terms of knowledge used on the job and links between educational attainment and position were analysed to provide a more specific picture.
