Which AFSC has the Most Educated People?derek

Also see which AFSCs have the highest ASVAB scores.

Highest levels of education is a much less subjective statistic to look at than ASVAB scores. Again a higher amount of education isn’t necessarily a measure of intelligence, but it is an interesting stat to look at.

This information is accurate as of May 2015.

Quick results

Five most educated AFSCs by percentage of the career field that has a bachelor’s or master’s degree:

  1. 3N2X1- Premier Band
  2. 3N1X1- Regional Band
  3. 7S0X1- Office of Special Investigations
  4. 3S3X1- Manpower
  5. 1S0X1- Safety

Explanation: Premier and regional band usually have a degree in music before they enter the Air Force, so that makes sense. OSI is a field that you have to retrain into through a thorough selection process, so it makes sense that they would take people that had already completed their degree in their first career field.

Manpower and safety were a surprise to me. My guess is that they are both generally office jobs with regular work hours, so it’s easy for them to attend night classes, but who knows.

Five least educated AFSCs by percentage of the career field that has a bachelor’s or master’s degree:

  1. 3E2X1- Pavements and Construction Equipment
  2. 3E1X1 – HVAC Specialist
  3. 2A2X1- Aerospace Maintenance
  4. 2T3X1- Vehicle Maintenance
  5. 2T1X1- Vehicle Ops

Explanation: Not real surprised here, these are the people that like to work with their hands and may be a genius with a motor, but aren’t interested in traditional academic learning environments.

Instructions

You can click on the headings to sort the table by score or AFSC. For instance sort by BS to see which AFSC has the highest percentage of people in the career field with a bachelor’s degree. You can click again to see which AFSC has the lowest number.

The BS/MS column adds the BS column to the MS column. This shows a more interesting representation of the education level because anyone that has an MS also has a BS, so it makes some sense to combine them for an overall percentage.
