<p>This doesn’t surprise me. My oldest is a true creative and will be working in a creative field at graduation. BUT… she is already working in this field and could have started a full time career after her first year in college. If both my husband and I didn’t have graduate degrees, I don’t think she would have thought of finishing. Just, in our family, a BA/BS is the minimum expectation from birth.</p>
<p>It’s ingrained. I don’t even think she ever thought about it., which also supports one of the stats in the study.</p>
<p>Some of this study does leave out students like BC who put himself through, since there’s an expiration date on what they see as a legitimate grad rate. However, when one is solely responsible for financing the education? I suppose slow and steady is an excellent course.</p>
