Of these jobs, 61% will require more than a high-school education but less than a Bachelors Degree.

Students today fit the following profile. Of the current population of high school graduates 97% of them hope to go to college. Of that group, 63% actually enroll in college. Of that group, only 30% receive a Bachelors Degree. Sine most potential students do not finish a four-year degree, they usually go to work in a vocational trade or pursue career related continuing education.
