So penalize the person who drops out to treat cancer? Care for a family member? Work to pay off healthcare debt? The person who tried, but choose the wrong degree and found a different career that requires different training?
Or any of these people that stay in school and graduate with less than an A?
Or the person that is further behind for socio-economic reasons and works hard in school but can only get a B because they had a crappy high school? Or they’re working at the same time for food and housing money?
