More and more students in the United States are dropping out of college before they finish. Once you drop-out once, you are more likely to do it again.

Students are dropping out for a variety of reasons, but one of the most prominent reasons is that it’s just too expensive. Switching schools also contributes to the rising drop-out rate because since many credits don’t transfer students have to take the same courses over again. Transfer students in this situation get bored with their courseload, and overwhelmed by the cost. Having to repeat credits means more time in school, which means more to pay for. The situation snowballs into dropping out again.

Completing a bachelors degree is more important than ever. Workers with this degree still tend to make significantly higher annual wages than workers without a bachelors degree, and more and more jobs now require this credential as a minimum qualification.
