They Are Returning: But, Are They Staying?
Reehling, Jean E.
Journal of College Student Personnel, v21 n6 p491-97 Nov 1980
In 1972 self-improvement and education were equally cited reasons for continuing education. By 1978, three-fourths of the respondents had continued their education but only half had reached the level planned in 1972. Self-improvement was the main reason for continuing. Very few cited encouragement from others. (JAC)
