The overwhelming majority of our students come to us seeking, primarily, material success. They seek preparation for a particular job and they are impatient with any courses or requirements which do not, in their judgment, advance them toward their materialistic goals. These students have been encouraged in their goals by their parents and friends. Their interest in the college diploma as a meal ticket reflects the perennial national quest for material security.
