I should think that getting a degree is a decision of mostly wanting an education. I'm sure many students flunk out because they find that school is difficult and not worth the outcome.
However, how do we figure out who is suited for it? Does a person who makes a 2.0 gpa in high school become "suited" for college? A true story: I graduated high school with a 2.2 gpa and I'm certain the counselors at the school would never have thought I would go to college. I failed every math class consecutively. I did go to college however, and I did awesome, I'm glad to say and I now have two associate degrees and one bachelors! I loved every minute of it, even with all the challenges. Many of my friends have failed to graduate at the same school (LSU.)
So I seriously wonder about all the kids who become disillusioned about going to college because their grades are not very good, but they would like to go to college. Are they pushed aside? Or am I one of a few? Sorry if I went off topic!
