Tagged: , ,

“Making $12 an hour looks pretty good at 16 years old.

But that money may start to look lackluster after ditching high school, a few decades of working and maybe a marriage and children.

Hispanic students ”” who show the highest dropout rates in Collier County ”” aren’t thinking about the future when they quit school, educators and advocates say. They’re more concerned with making good money to support themselves and their families.”
