Most popular jobs among research university graduates in the Netherlands 2017
Gender differences
This study also surveyed the differences in preferences between men and women. Among higher-educated men, CEO was the most popular job. Alternatively, they were also happy to take on another management job. Higher-educated women, on the other hand, were more interested in the social-cultural and communication fields.
Medium-sized companies most popular
Higher-educated starters prefer to work for medium-sized companies (10-50 employees). A recent survey asked these starters for what kind of company they would like to work, and nearly half stated to prefer a company which is not too big and not too small. 25 percent had a preference for semi-government and government institutions or NGOs.
