Higher learning; time, misconceptions keep students out of college

Posted by | Sep 12, 2008 | |

Higher education-education beyond the grade school years-has been in existence for many years; people have used it to further their careers, to network with various people, to develop creativity and talent in various areas of life, and the list goes on.
