9:06 The Tuesday Feature: Some College, No Degree by Emily Hanford
An American Radioworks documentary about why so many young people drop out of University.
More people are going to college than ever before. But in the United States, about half the people who start don't finish. There are 37 million Americans with some college credits but no degree - more than 20 percent of the working-age population. In an economy that increasingly demands workers with knowledge and skills, many college dropouts are being left behind. (APM)
