A majority of working adults say college adequately prepared them for the workforce - Autumn A. Arnett, Education Dive

A new survey from the Flatiron School found 68% of working adults would return to school — either to college for an additional degree or to a credentialing "accelerated learning program" — if it guaranteed a high-paying job. The survey also found over 60% of adults are satisfied with the way college prepared them to enter the workforce. "Personal issues" and cost were the top reasons adults who didn't attend or finish college were halted, and cost is the number one thing keeping people from returning to school. http://www.educationdive.com/news/a-majority-of-working-adults-say-college-adequately-prepared-them-for-the-w/504854/
