A working paper, titled "When Anything Can Happen," authored by Stefanie DeLuca and Nicholas Papageorge was recently featured in Johns Hopkins Magazine. This study explores the decisions low-income minority students make about postsecondary education. While previous studies have focused on the financial constraints and a lack of knowledge about college options as the primary reason that students choose not to enroll in four-year programs, the interviews with 15-24 year-old subjects show that the instability in their lives may make it impossible to complete a bachelor's degree. Instead, they may choose to pursue shorter-term programs to accelerate their immediate earning potential.
