Only ten percent of free college recipients complete a two year degree in six years.
Man, that tells me a lot.
It tells me the educational establishment is utterly insane when they crow about how many high school graduates enroll in college. They never say how many actually attend nor how many graduate.
Not every high school student is bound for college. We have a deep need in the country for tradesmen, at all levels.
One of mine is at truck drivers school today. That’s what he wants to do. Another graduates as an aerospace engineer in May. That’s what he wants to do. I support both equally.
I suspect many people attending a two-year community college (which tends to be cheaper than a four-year school per credit) may be working full-time and taking classes at night; that may explain why some are taking six years to complete it.
