THE CASE FOR VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
Fewer than 33 percent of young people succeed in attaining a four-year degree by age twenty-five. If you disaggregate by income, only about 15 percent in the bottom third of the distribution attain a degree. In the bottom quintile, it’s half that. If you look at graduation rates among those who enroll, only about 30 percent in the bottom two income quintiles complete within six years.
The economic returns of 'some college' (i.e., those who drop out with no degree or occupational certificate) are no different than for those with only a high school diploma."
