Researching career education uncovered the following shocking statistic: The average college student takes 5.3 years to earn a 4-year Bachelor's degree. Other data included that college retention is mediocre at best with a national average around 50%. In Indiana Nike Air VaporMax Plus NZ , research reveals that for every 100 ninth grade students, only 21 will graduate with a bachelor's degree within 6 years.

Depending upon the state and the type of post-secondary institution such as private or state, the 6 year plan can increase college costs anywhere from $5,000 to $70 Nike Air VaporMax NZ ,000 using data from the U.S. Department of Education for the 2002-03 academic year. Avoiding the 6-year plan really makes sense, as these costs do not include books, additional fees, and any other supplemental expenses.
Why Has This Happened?
There are several key reasons for this national and state trend. First Nike Air Max TN NZ , many young people do not know what their desired major is. With a curriculum that is a mile wide and an inch deep, young people may not have the school time to adequately explore their interests.
Second, many young people do not plan for the challenges that they will be experiencing. In a survey revealed that both college freshman and sophomores did not realize that their coursework was remedial and did not count towards their degrees. Another recent survey from the National Governors Association (NGA) confirms that young people believe that they are unprepared for the demands of college and work in the 21st Century. Ignorance is very expensive.
Third, these same young people lack self-control Nike Air Max Plus NZ , self-leadership, self-discipline, self-responsibility and time management. These young adults have been conditioned to have someone else assume all responsibilities. Unfortunately, another recent report revealed that high school counselors were not candid in their discussions with students about the students' college preparation or lack thereof. An interesting side note is that these interpersonal skills or what some call job-readiness skills are the same desirable skills that employers are seeking and cannot find in college graduates.
What Can You as a Parent Do?
Recognize that the current solutions will not work as most of these are externally driven. Common sense tells us that we can't change anyone. Seek an inside-out solution where your daughter or son internalizes the necessary positive attitudes and inter-personal skills through a proven goal achievement action plan. By working with the necessary positive attitudes Nike Air Max 2019 NZ , integrating new skills and knowledge such as goal achievement, time management and effective communication, your son or daughter will begin to plan their 4-year college future because you have set the expectations and provided the tool to turn their potential into performance.
If you choose not to take action, then consider these two questions:
Do you really wish to spend an additional $5 Nike Air Max 2018 NZ ,000 to $70,000?
And more importantly,
What other needs do you have for that money?
