in academics.”• “My friends are seniors and they wish they

would’ve come to the career center because they don’t know what they are going to do.”

Student Voices

February 2011

“College for All does not mean everyone needs a B.A. Most jobs do not require a B.A.”


February 2011

“Nearly 70% of high school graduates now go to college within 2 years of graduation. Only 4 in 10 Americans have obtained either an associate’s or bachelor’s degree by their mid-twenties. 10% have earned a certificate. This is a sobering situation.

•56% complete a bachelor’s degree•30% complete an associate’s degree
