- Currently, the U.S. is graduating the same number of college graduates (college retention) when compared to the early 1950's.
- In January of 2006, the American Institutes for Research released a report indicating that soon to be college graduates who already had 15 plus years of education cannot understand a credit card offer or compare the cost per ounce of food.

A Goal?

- Enroll in one college remedial course
- Take 3.5 to 6.0 years to complete their post secondary programs
- Spend additional $3,000 to $75,000 depending upon the program and state
- Lose $40,000 to $100,000 income due to the delay in finishing their degrees or post-secondary experience
- Lack 2 years of work experience necessary for career advancement
