The Baccalaureate Game: Is It Right for All Teens?

Gray, Kenneth

Phi Delta Kappan, v77 n8 p528-34 Apr 1996

Those who indiscriminately advise all teens to pursue baccalaureate degrees mistakenly assume that most high school graduates are ready for college-level work, will graduate, will find better jobs, and won't be harmed if they fail. Postsecondary education at the certificate or associate's degree level can lead to rewarding, high-wage occupations needing workers. (12 references) (MLH)
