A Serious and Overlooked Consequence of Dropping Out of College

Not everyone who begins college walks away with a degree. You might start off at a decent school with smart professors, only to realize early on that the line of work you want to pursue doesn't require a degree. Or, you might have a medical condition that makes college too challenging to handle, or encounter personal or family issues that force you to abandon your studies midway through.

But while there are many reasons for failing to come away with a degree in hand, there are also consequences. Not finishing your studies could result in a scenario where it's hard to find a job, or a well-paying one. And that's not the only problem. You may also be more likely to struggle to repay the student loans you took out while you were in school.
