This is a Swedish study about the correspondence between higher education studies and the obtained profession considering both skill level and specialisation. The labour market position in 2002, for a student population, aged 26-28 years, was analyzed. Also those students who had not obtained a degree, but who had studied at least two years were included. Income was not considered when a match was determined. Social class background did not have any effect on matching when types of higher education studies were the same. It was more likely that a woman would find a matching employment than a man. Having a degree improved the chances of obtaining a matching profession by three times. (Contains 7 tables and 1 footnote.)
