This paper is directed towards showing the importance of university studies in Colombia, through the probablilty of getting suitable incomes and job satisfaction, using the Graduate Survey 2007, from the Ministerio de Educación Nacional de Colombia. Methodologically, logit Probabilistic models were used in order to analyze the effect on incomes and labor satisfaction  of personal, educational, and work skill variables, concluding that the most important predictors are the variables concerning education, level of training, origin of the university, and the state where it is located, type of contract, job-profession ratio, on-the-job training, and the parents’ education level. Further research is required to measure labor satisfaction more adequately.
