Ivana -- Actually the stat is more amazing than you think. California community college students represent 9.4% of ALL college students in this country.

Twenty three percent of full-time undergrads, who are 24 or younger, work 20 hours or more a week. <<< This fact was pretty shocking. I work 15 hours a week as a full time undergraduate student and I feel like that is almost too much. Working 20+ hours a week and staying on top of your grades AND staying involved around campus, is A LOT of work. Hats off to those who do it.

That's crazy that 9.4 percent of students attending community college are going to school in California.

"Less than one third of Americans" [that's 33% right] "hold at least a bachelor's degree, but at least 30 percent of adults in 16 states—mostly on the coasts—have earned a bachelor's degree or higher." What is the point and why the "...but at least..." The difference between 33% and 30% couldn't be what they are pointing out. Maybe I am missing something.

Lots of food for thought here, especially for those who raise friends and funds in support of higher education.

Interesting 20. Less than 1/3 of Americans hold at least a bachelor's degree? Millions unemployed? Is there a smoking gun here?
