    It all depends on the person. Many graduates may start looking for jobs as well as many will continue their education. Depending what the person wants to do makes a difference too. For example, graduates are required to go to medical school if they want to become MD doctors. I do not think there are specific career paths that are common for graduates however, most graduates will start at entry-level positions and some may even start their own businesses and skip the process of working for others.

    Most common career paths? I'm pretty sure in the FIRST year most freshmen can be put into several categories: Pre-Med, Business, engineering, or "I'm not sure yet." There are in my experience few first year students that want to go to law school right off the bat. Usually it sinks in after a year or two. They would be put into the "I'm not sure yet" category also. However, this does not by any means imply that these prominent freshmen would still be in these respective categories by Year 2. In fact, most would have already switched around a few times by then.

    Nowadays a large majority of undergraduates students intend, upon entry in a university, to move on to graduate study or medical or law school. However, things do not always pan out the way they are planned. Judging by those with which I closely interact, most students start out as either business majors, pre-med majors, or engineering majors (unfortunately only the strong survive in that field). Considering that in order to become a doctor you must go to med school, all pre-med majors do that. As far as business majors are concerned, the competitiveness leads many students in the business program to attend graduate school as well.
