In my opinion, this low statistic for people who have graduated college with at least a bachelor in West Virginia is providing proof that for some reason people are not necessarily being prepared for the idea of college. I think with the lack of education in the school system, people are losing interest in furthering there knowledge with more schooling. Maybe if people were more excited to learn they would have more ambition to do greater things. People are not making as much money as they could be, and that makes our state less wealthy.
I think the percentage is so low because this generation is being raised by so many people who did not go to college. The idea of working right out of high school is popular, especially among people who live on farms or have coal miners in their family.
One possible solution to this problem would be providing more scholarships and grants to students in West Virginia who are interested in going to college. I can't help but believe it would help some, considering some people feel that they can't afford college and it isn't an option for them.
