Conclusion: Alumni are working in a variety of high-wage, in-demand careers. Most importantly, these workers didn’t hold anything beyond their liberal arts degree The majority didn’t have to seek additional education outside Saddleback College. Their liberal arts training had given them the very skills they needed. Saddleback’s liberal arts students didn’t need to transfer to another school in order to gain employable skills.
