Abstract	This article deals with the question of how the segmentation of higher education participation connects with the segmentation of the graduate labor market into jobs with different levels of quality. With data comprising educational and labor market histories of graduates with Master's degree from nine European countries, the author analyses how graduates with traditional higher education careers come off on the European labor market compared to those with non-traditional educational careers. When examining the quality of the employment that graduates obtain early on in their career, three criteria are applicable: the job stability and the quality of the education-job match to both the level of their studies and skills. The method used in the analysis is logistic regression. Results indicate that being a traditional/nontraditional graduate does affect the odds of finding proper employment; however, whether the influence is positive or negative greatly varies with respect to gender; the number of graduates with the same type of educational career on the local market and the criteria used to evaluate the adequacy of the employment.
