Speaking of college, I'm curious as to why some people choose not to go to college. I'm doing some research that concerns U.S. human capital in part, and although this is not part of my research 'question', I am just curious.
Obviously, current mental health issues can prevent college attendance, but I would like to hear your input based on past experiences, former decision dynamics, or characteristics of people you know such as friends or kids.
For 2007, less than 29 percent of the U.S. population had a college degree. The numbers have steadily, but slowly, increased since 1970. For 2000, it was about 26 percent of the population.
It's also interesting that for 2008, women comprised 58 percent of all college students enrolled during that year.
Any opinions would be interesting.
