Hour 2
If you attended college, did you enroll directly out of high school? Or are you like one of the 45 percent of students our guest, writer and educator, MIKE ROSE, says took longer to find their way to higher education?

Rose’s new book “Back to School: Why Everyone Deserves a Second Chance at Education,” tells the stories of those who have attempted two, three, or four times at post-secondary and adult-education institutions to fulfill their personal development.
