Is it true that college graduates can end up in low-paying jobs?
Unclear. The retrieved items only partially support the claim: one survey analysis reports notable underemployment and involuntary part-time work among young college graduates, and a historical case study describes trained graduates stuck in low-paying teaching jobs. Neither covers college graduates generally, so the evidence supports only a narrower version of the claim.
