Survey says most new graduates in U.S. would take a pay cut to make a difference (would you?) →
72 percent of graduating college seniors believe being able to make a “positive societal impact” through their work is essential to their happiness. Making a difference is so important to them that 45 percent say they’d take a 15 percent pay cut to work at an organization that makes a social or environmental impact and 58 percent say they’d take a pay cut to “work for an organization whose values are like my own.” Female students are significantly more likely to prioritize social impact than their male classmates.
