We talk often about how college graduates fare, but Thursday we get a chance to talk to a sociologist who has looked more closely at this question than just about anyone. Richard Arum is the co-author of "Aspiring Adults Adrift," in which they assessed how a diverse group of nearly 1,000 graduates were doing two years after they left school. Nearly a quarter lived at home. Three-quarters were getting financial help from family. But that was just the start of what Arum learned. He's speaking as a guest at RIT, but first, he's on Connections, talking about what employers expect of graduates, along with Chip Sheffield, chair of Applied Critical Thinking at RIT.
