In the last College without Completion post, we shared that, according to NCES, 42.7% of students did not get a bachelor’s degree from the college at which they began within 6 years . In this post, we look at the effects of leaving college without a degree.

There are multiple ways in which a student and his or her immediate family might be affected by a student’s decision to leave college.

A student’s potential earnings, as well as a student’s quality of life, can be greatly diminished by the lack of a degree.

• Students who have some college but no degree face a higher unemployment rate and sub-median weekly pay check .
• Students with a bachelor’s degree or a higher degree report a lower level of poverty, a slightly higher job satisfaction rate, a lower obesity rate and children that are better prepared for school .

Apple repeatedly refers to the iPad as being magical, but youre anything like me and you own an iPad or iPad 2, you probably feel guilty when you look down at its sleek screen and think, The blood and sweat of child labor went into the creation of this device, and I cant even watch Flash on it.

Ive been playing video games for a long time, and there have been two categories I put my experiences into; games that suck, and games that dont suck.  Not all the games which I feel dont suck are equal, for instance, Red Dead Redemption is a better experience than say, The Force Unleashed, but I still enjoy both games.

This was a system that worked consistently until 2007, when I played Assassins Creed for the first time. Never, ever have I been so torn over whether I feel a game is good or bad. And whats even more troubling to me is that the uneasy feelings I have for the first game, carry over with more or less the same the same potency to the two sequels it spawned, Assassins Creed II (ACII), and Assassins Creed: Brotherhood (ACB).
