this hits different if you're older going back

read this and got mad because it's true. only 60 percent finish and most of those are kids whose parents already went to college. if you're working full time and going to school at night like I did, the system is basically designed to make you quit. the author nailed it. we need schools to actually accommodate adult students instead of acting like everyone is 18 and living in a dorm. if you're thinking about going back, don't let this scare you, just go in knowing the deck is stacked and plan accordingly.
