Survey data show that most students who dropped or stopped out did recover from disruptions in their education and return to school to complete a degree. However, the earlier the disruption, the lower the probability of completing a college degree. Overall, 84% of the 3.7 million 1980 sophomores were employed in 1992. Clearly, the decisions young people make early in their lives have a major impact on their success in the job market and eventual educational attainment.
