Why would a student ever benefit by not getting a college degree?

0

A. Look at what the national statistics tell us: Less than half of all students who enroll in college earn a four-year degree. Job market analysts say that only 20 percent of America’s jobs require a bachelor’s degree or higher education. But 65 percent of good jobs that can provide wonderful careers require something less than four years of college. Only 15 percent of America’s jobs are available to people without skill training. Many careers can be launched with a two-year college associate’s degree – for example, medical and health services (nurses, medical technicians, dental hygienists), as well as manufacturing and service technician fields (computer systems technicians, graphic arts designers, aircraft mechanics, engineering technicians).
