Case

   Students are not taking their education seriously which is one of the reasons why they do not find success after college graduation and therefore, do not make the income needed to pay off student loan debt and other financial responsibilities. The Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA), an exam given to students that tests their improvement and capabilities in critical thinking, complex reasoning and creative writing, has shown through statistics that college students in the bottom quintile are three times as likely to not find employment after graduation. Those on the top quintiles are students who found success after college. The better grades they received, meant the more they paid attention and took their studies seriously. With that, the more likely were they to have success.
