B&B:93 first follow-up in 1994 (B&B:93/94) collected information about job search activities after
graduation as well as information concerning education and employment experiences after
graduation. Individuals who had shown an interest in becoming teachers were asked additional
questions about their pursuit of this career, and if teaching, about their current teaching position. In
addition, the first follow-up collected undergraduate transcripts whenever possible. The second
follow-up in 1997 (B&B:92/97) collected information on education, employment, and other
experiences since the last interview. It also collected current Federal aid and loan status
information.
