because the student and parent do not really make the choice.
no they do not, at all. they can have an option, but the kids that need to go would not qualify. the students that qualify do not need to go.
I've got a 21 and 23 year old. One skipped college and works with me and UPS the other grad of OU. They both chose different paths. Their choice.
What keeps kids from qualifying for advanced studies?
