From the Paper:

"An article found in Phi Delta Kappan asserts that college degrees are fast becoming the standard in education. The article asserts that "Today, "some college" in either a two- or four-year school has become the norm. In 1997, 57% of young people aged 25 to 29 had at least some college. Many consider a bachelor's degree essential to economic success, and some foresee a day when four years of college will be the accepted standard for educational attainment, much as a high school diploma was in 1950." (Boesel 2001)"
