Dear Jenny,
I worked on a project about this at the University of Salford in 2004/5. The project website - and dissemination/research reports - can be found at: http://www.cse.salford.ac.uk/dfe/. Some of the team also went on to do further research into this area, links to which can be found at the dfe website.
Thanks,
Laura

Subject: [PSCI-COM] Losing Science/Technology graduates - is it a problem in the UK?
Dear All
I'm doing some research into how many science/engineering/technology graduates stay in their profession and wondered if anyone knew of any exisiting research out there on this topic?
I want to find out how many science/engineering grads leave the science behind and go and work in completely un related professions e.g. banking/law etc.
If this is a problem, is it affecting the UK economy? Are we forcing research abroad due to falling numbers of qualified graduates? If you believe it is a major problem - why do you think that science graduates chose not to use their scientific knowledge in their career - either at the bench or at the desk (e.g. teaching or communicating it).
Any thoughts/references would be useful.
Many thanks,
Jenny
