Discussion:◦ You are in a class of 250 freshmen in college and
the professor tells you that on the first day that only about 50 of you will pass the course. (Universities cannot financially maintain all freshmen in upper level courses or major courses or have enough professors to teach those higher level courses.)
◦ You discover after the first few weeks of classes that you have failing grades maybe because of policy and maybe due to lack of preparation or study skills.
2-Year Colleges vs. 4-Year Universities
![Page 27: High School – Your Plan – Your Future](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168b7550346895ddf94f6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Continued:◦ You fail courses the first semester and lose your scholarship◦ Your financial aid is not enough◦ Your parents have some financial problems and cannot help
to pay for extras◦ You have had a child◦ You job options are about the same as before you started to
the university
◦ You still know exactly what occupation you want!

skill to apply for jobs with--- not just academics.◦ The job you can apply for is the first level on the career
pathway you want to reach◦ Transferring to a 4-year college is easy if you followed the
transfer requirements for the next 2 years of your choice program
